MS Series Bar Screens Simplify Maintenance And Increase Tranquility

The City of Los Angeles Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant (DCT) combines technology with tranquility. The DCT is home to both a wastewater treatment facility and a Japanese garden open to the public all year long. Water is a central element to any Japanese garden and the fact that the water used in the Tillman Japanese garden is reclaimed adds to the overall sense of harmony.

Over 25 million gallons per day of reclaimed water is produced and about 2.5 million gallons per day are recycled at the plant for treatment processes, landscape irrigation, cooling of plant equipment, air conditioning, and other applications. Over 23 million gallons per day are recycled to the three nearby lakes: the Japanese Garden Lake, the Wildlife Lake, and the Balboa Recreation Lake. The remainder of the Plant’s treated water is discharged directly to the Los Angeles River. The plant’s discharge, combined with the outfall from the three lakes, provides a minimum of 20 million gallons per day to the Los Angeles River for support of the river’s riparian habitat.
