What does a water reclamation facility do?

A water reclamation facility removes impurities and pollutants that are found in wastewater so that the treated water can be safely returned to the environment. This is the same process that occurs naturally in the environment to break down wastewater into the most basic elements of carbon dioxide and water. The treatment process involves physical, biological, and chemical methods and are designed to accelerate the natural process to ensure proper treatment is provided.
