San Jose, California — The Santa Clara Valley Water District is embarking on an effort to revamp the image of purified wastewater and lay the groundwork for replenishing local aquifers, reports CBS San Francisco.
Speaking at a press event at the Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center, district CEO Rick Callender addressed the need to continue to conserve while also developing ways to increase the water supply.
At the event, staffers passed out bottles of water to elected officials and dignitaries with this message printed on the label: "This used to be waste water #GetOverIt."
