Let No Waste go to Waste
As part of our commitment to recycling and reusing our resources, we send our wastewater to a local partner of ours, the Encina Wastewater Authority. Through an advanced process, they turn nutrient rich human waste into a fertilizer called PureGreen.
Many local golf courses and orchards use PureGreen as a natural alternative to chemical and organic fertilizers. To help ensure the integrity of this product, they have a pretreatment program in place that monitors the waste streams to ensure safety, however, we still need your help!
Only Flush the 3P’ s( Pee, Poop, and [ toilet ] Paper)!
