Paul the Truckee River flows are looking pretty good this time of the year, and thats giving tmwa a chance to sae that water and pump it back into the ground. Im paul nelson, ill coming up after the break. Season. Are you, like many others, putting off filing because youre waiting for this form . Im john potter. That this is channel 2 news, miller were keeping the aquifer in good shape, all the year. Once again the Truckee Meadows Water Authority is utilizing wells. Not to get water out of the ground but to put it back in. That is story at 5 30 tmwa has about 90 wells around the truckee meadows and theyre recharging about 20 of them. Good evening, im landon miller. And im Kristen Remington thank you for staying with us tonight. Putting water back into the ground is something they have been doing since 1993. And as paul nelson shows us, its just one more way to prepare for dry years. River flowing the Truckee River is one of the areas biggest sources of water. And during the fall and winter months, its used to rejuvenate another source. Miller were looking at restoring groundwater flow in the aquifer, putting water back into the system. Winter water demand is about 25 percent of what it is during the summer and that allows tmwa to pump about 10 million gallons of treated water into the ground miller so were able to use the excess treatment capacity, produce more treated surface water, spread it throughout the distribution system, and put it back into 20 different sites across town. Nelson during times when tmwa needs to draw water from the aquifer, they come to this well and pump the water through this pipe, but during times like we have right now, when theres less demand and more surface water, they bring the water through this bypass and pump it right back down to the ground. Miller its invaluable. Its just another asset of our water supply that we can rely upon during times of need. Miller says in the last 20 years tmwa has never had to pump as much groundwater as it did last year because of the drought. Miller we maximize surface water use when we have it available, but in times of drought, like we had last year, we rely heavily on our groundwater. More than 300 gallons of water is pumped into the ground, every minute. Miller were right at 310 gallons a minute, right now. The Water Treatment plant and Distribution Center is monitored 24 hours a day. These monitors show the maze of water mains throughout reno and sparks and these show the status of the wells
