The Dublin San Ramon Services District, which provides potable and recycled water service to the Dougherty Valley area of San Ramon and wastewater collection and treatment to south San Ramon, opened its second residential recycled water fill station in its service area, agency officials announced this week.

The water district has been offering free recycled water to homeowners to help keep their landscaping alive during the drought, due to rules restricting outdoor irrigation to two days per week.

The new fill station, located at the city of Dublin’s Public Safety Complex at 6363 Clark Ave., is smaller than the main fill station at 7399 Johnson Drive in Pleasanton. The new station also has different rules and limited hours:

• Users should enter the Dublin fill station via Village Parkway and turn right into the fill station. Users may not turn onto Clark Avenue from Dublin Boulevard.

• Trailers are not allowed. Vehicles pulling trailers should use the Pleasanton fill station.

• Dublin fill station hours include: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed this Friday).

• New users can sign an agreement and receive training and an identification card during new customer hours (Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays between 8-9 a.m.).

• The maximum load per visit is 300 gallons and users need to pay attention to their vehicle’s loading capacity. There is no limit on the number of visits per day.

DSRSD opened the Pleasanton water fill station a year ago after all Tri-Valley water agencies set strict limits on using drinking water for landscape irrigation.

“The program has become extremely popular, with more than 2,000 registered users and 7.6 million gallons distributed to date,” DSRSD officials said in a statement.

The recycled water is free to any resident willing to purchase containers and transport it. Users do not have to be DSRSD customers.

  2. I bought two 55 gallon plastic (type) barrels at the “Tile Setters Toy Store” at 6800 Sierra Court in Dublin. I won’t get into pricing…supply and demand rules.
    The barrels have to be cleaned out, and then I spent about $15.00 at Home Depot to make up valve assemblies to screw my garden hose to in order to drain the drums at home.

  3. Purple water line is going in along Camino Ramon a fill station along that line would be a resource to help keep Danville green without having to go to one of the out of town fill stations. Thoughts?
