Reno’s New Water Revolution | Las Vegas News

Reno is finally breaking ground on a revolutionary wastewater treatment plant that turns dirty water into drinkable quality—processing two million gallons daily and safely recharging it into an underground aquifer. After 15 years of planning, this state-backed project—funded with over $128 million—aims to reduce dependence on the Truckee River and create a resilient local water supply. Using cutting-edge ozone biological activated carbon technology, it’s not only more affordable than reverse osmosis but also avoids toxic brine waste. The process includes microbial breakdown, carbon filtration for pharmaceuticals and PFAS, UV disinfection, and a final natural purification phase in the aquifer. This isn’t just Reno’s solution—it sets a new statewide standard for advanced water recycling, ensuring reliable taps even during droughts or river shortages.
