About the GWRS
The GWRS takes treated wastewater from the Orange County Sanitation District and purifies it using a threestep process of microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide. The result is pure water that meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards. The GWRS produces 100 million gallons of water per day; enough water for 850,000 people.
