Reclaimed Water

Reusing Treated Wastewater for Irrigation

Reclaimed water is treated wastewater recycled for non-drinking purposes such as irrigation. It is stored in a separate tank and piped through lines easily identified by a purple color.

Residents and businesses with access to the reclaimed system can save money on irrigation since reclaimed water is provided at a lower cost than water provided through the Town's drinking water supply. Reclaimed water also is available during drought conditions. The Town's reclaimed water service area covers a portion of Holly Springs west of N.C. 55.

The reclaimed system conserves a precious natural resource by reducing the amount of drinkable water used for irrigation. It also reduces the amount of wastewater discharged from the Town's treatment facility into Utley Creek, which increases the amount of wastewater the Town is allowed to treat since that amount is based on the discharge into the creek. 

The reclaimed water system also saves the Town of Holly Springs money, as the Town uses reclaimed water to irrigate public spaces in the Holly Springs Business Park.
