reclaimed water
Purified sewage reuse
Reclaimed water is wastewater that has been treated for reuse rather than discharged.
It typically irrigates landscapes, golf courses, and crops, or supplies industrial cooling systems.
Also called recycled water or reclaimed wastewater.
Most municipalities prohibit its use for drinking, though advanced treatment can make it potable: The city's reclaimed water program saves millions of gallons annually.
