From the effluent of the contact basins, disinfected tertiary recycled water is pumped into the distribution pipeline network to deliver recycled water to the facility for internal use, industrial users, irrigation, and groundwater recharge. Water not pumped into the recycled water distribution pipeline network is dechlorinated with sodium bisulfite prior to being discharged to an outfall point. The facility outfalls may discharge to creeks, rivers, or lakes.
