Cedar City gained over $2 million in grant funds to begin a wastewater project that could give the city another water source for turf irrigation at schools, parks and the golf course.

The grant allows the project to begin Phase 1, funding the construction of a Type 1 effluent filtration system at the Cedar City Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Effluent water is wastewater. The new system would allow the plant to improve the water produced from Type 2 to Type 1 by using pile cloth disc filters. So, it would be considered safe for human contact and can be used for irrigation at the Cedar Ridge Golf Course and local parks and schools, according to the City Council packet. The water is currently being discharged onto farmland near the plant.
