, through a pioneering wastewater treatment facility that  recycles used water — or sewage — and returns it to the drinking  supply. The plant is expanding production from 70 to 100 million gallons  per day, enough for 850,000 people, around one-third of the county  population. As the OWCD output is mixed with the main groundwater supply  it reaches over 70% of residents.
