The Regional Water Quality Control Plant is owned and operated
by the City of Palo Alto for the communities of Los Altos, Los Altos
Hills, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Stanford University and the East
Palo Alto Sanitary District. The plant is an advanced, biological
treatment facility that uses microorganisms to remove unwanted organic
material and toxins from the wastewater. We chose this type of treatment
technology over other processes that are more reliant on chemicals
for treatment. This microorganisms-based wastewater processing facility
is safe, efficient, and provides conditions that allow its principal
processing elements - the microorganisms themselves - to rejuvenate.
The plant's treated effluent is chemical-free and almost of drinking
water quality, preserving the quality of the receiving waters in
the San Francisco Bay.
