Description
Learn how the City of Rio Rancho is replenishing the ground water supply by directly injecting water back into the aquifer. See the engineering that they use to meet the goal of returning at least one million gallons of purified water per day to the aquifer. Recharging the aquifer is important since it is the only source of Rio Rancho’s drinking water. This process is part of the water conservation and reuse measures that are critical in sustaining drinking water for the future. This site requires you to wear closed-toed shoes. Limited enrollment.
Dennis Gonzales is a waste water operations supervisor for Jacobs/City of Rio Rancho and has worked at the facility since the start up almost nine years ago.
