Reno Stead and Truckee Meadows reclamation facilities supply tertiary-treated reclaimed water for golf courses, parks, and approved commercial irrigation under purple-pipe identification rules.
The City of Reno operates Reno-Stead Water Reclamation Facility supplying Class A reclaimed water for non-potable irrigation across northern Reno. Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (jointly with Sparks and Washoe County) discharges treated effluent under NDEP permit. Purple-pipe systems identify reclaimed lines; cross-connection with potable supply is prohibited. Permitted uses include golf courses, schools, parks, and large commercial landscapes; residential drinking, swimming, or food-crop irrigation are banned. Backflow prevention and annual cross-connection inspections are required for sites using reclaimed water.
Cross-connection violations carry fines up to $1,000 per day and immediate disconnection of reclaimed service until certified backflow prevention inspection passes.
