Abstract:

Cary is North Carolina's first municipality to pipe treated wastewater to customers for cooling or irrigation uses. Titled Reclaimed Water Project, the program currently serves 354 residential and multi-family customers and 20 businesses. Its purpose is twofold: reduce wastewater going into waterways and reduce use of drinking water for watering lawns and flowers or washing cars.
