An era has officially ended at Padre Dam’s Ray Stoyer Water Recycling Facility in . In October 2025, the final drop of wastewater passed through the facility.πŸ’§

Since the late 1950s, Padre Dam has been transforming wastewater into a resource β€” with this initial project leading to the creation of Santee Lakes. After moving to its current site in 1968 and expanding in 1997, it’s been recycling 2 million gallons a day for local landscaping and recreation.🌳🎣

Now we look ahead: the new WRF Facility will be able to treat up to 16 million gallons per day when it comes online in late 2026. A big step toward our sustainable water future!🚰

Plans for our new energy recovery system are moving forward! βš‘οΈβ™»οΈ

At this week’s East County AWP Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Board meeting, the Board authorized Anaergia to proceed with the final design of the Combined Heat and Power & High Strength Waste facilities.

This means the methane produced by our digesters (pictured) will be captured and used to generate heat and electricityβ€” providing up to 30% of the site’s total energy demand, saving the JPA and ratepayers costs.πŸ’‘
