Reuse Water 101

Are you familiar with the term reuse water? Reuse water refers to treated wastewater that has been repurposed for beneficial use, rather than returned to the lake. Water is pulled from our lakes, treated at our plants, delivered to homes and businesses, used and sent down the drain, then cleaned up and returned to the lake.

Some uses of water don't require full treatment to drinking standards, watering fields, coolant towers, and other applications where the water is not going to be used for human consumption. As part of our commitment to conservation, Denton offers certain customers reuse water. This saves treatment costs and recycles the water we already have.
