The Reclaimed Water Facility at the University of Connecticut sits right between two other critical utility plants on the campus.It receives secondary effluent from the university’s Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) and it delivers reclaimed water to the Central Utilities Plant (CUP) for use in the cooling towers and boilers. About 20 to 60 percent of water used there returns to the WPCF.Rob Scott, project manager with Woodard & Curran, leads a staff of four in fulfilling the Reclaimed Water Facility’s role in the university’s semi-closed water loop. “Close communication and cooperation among the three facilities is essential,” says Scott.
