City Celebrates Successful Start-Up of New Treatment Process
SLO Water Plus Advances Sustainable Water Solutions
The San Luis Obispo Water Resource Recovery Facility (SLO WRRF) has served as an emblem of sustainable water management for nearly 100 years. After a decade-long effort by the City, partner agencies and residents, a facility upgrade — called SLO Water Plus — is now underway.
Upgrades Support Comprehensive Resource Recovery
SLO Water Plus improves the WRRF’s ability to recover resources traditionally classified as waste. The upgrade will improve the plant’s efficiency while helping reduce our dependency on reservoir and groundwater supplies long into the future. It will deliver significant long-term benefits to water quality, the environment, resilience and community education.
