Purple and Proud! ?? Did you know? Recycled water ?? plays a key role in our communities! It’s used for irrigating crops, golf courses, parks, and even residential landscapes. But that’s not all—it also supports industry, enhances wildlife habitats, and keeps fountains flowing! Recycled water travels through a system of purple pipes, completely separate from drinking water and wastewater.
