Do the benefits outweigh the risks?

This event is over, but a videotape is available in the Acterra Environmental Library.

Using treated (or recycled) wastewater for irrigation and other water needs is becoming increasingly attractive as we draw down fresh water supplies.

How can we make the best use of our diminishing resources? What's safe and appropriate? What are the sources of contention and how can we resolve these conflicts?

San Mateo County Supervisor Rich Gordon will moderate a panel discussion representing various perspectives on the common uses and management practices for treated wastewater, including health and safety concerns.

Panelists include Bob Holden, Water Recycling Projects Coordinator, Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency; Larry Kolb, Principal Engineer, SF Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board; and Eric Rosenblum, Manager, South Bay Water Recycling, San Jose Environmental Services Department.

The event is free and open to the public; seating is available on a first-come basis. Refreshments will be served.

This forum, the first in a series, is cosponsored by the San Mateo County League for Coastside Protection, Save Our Shores, and the Surfrider Foundation San Mateo County, and has been made possible in part by a grant from Peninsula Community Foundation.
