Workers at the scene trying to tear down what is left of that burned out shell of a building in mission bay. These are live pictures from the nbc chopper in San Francisco. Last night the flames and destruction. Tonight, more destruction but this time planned. We want to show you a piece of video a few minutes ago we saw this. Another part of the burned out building literally collapsing before our eyes. Crews are systematically dismantling the building in wards using the big cranes to take this building inwards as opposed to out wards where it would threaten other apartments and offices. They expect to do this process for the next several hours. New at 6 00, would you be willing to drink fully treated and purified waste water . It could be part of californias future. Marianne favro joins us at a look at operations in san jose and marianne, the facility opens in summer and could be helping out with the drought big time. It certainly can. The idea is to make sure that waste water doesnt go to waste. For example, this ultraviolet light can be used to inactivate viruss or bacteria in the water and these technologies can be used to turn sewage water into Drinking Water. Waste water is running through the cylinders. When it arrives at the Silicon Valley purr fa case center in san jose it looks like this. When it leaves its crystal clear. The center wont officially open until june, but nbc bay area got a firsthand look at operations. We are going to use this facility as a demonstration project to show to the public that we can treat the water to a level thats acceptable for Drinking Water purposes. Reporter the first step is turning waste water into much Higher Quality water that has less salt and can be used for irrigation, landscaping and cooler towers for the hightech industry. First, the water goes through a micro filtration process to get rid of bacteria and then goes through a hightech reverse osmosis process that eliminates salts and pharmaceuticals. The final step is ultra violent disinfection which inactivates any remaining viruss and bacteria. Because our future will rely on facilities like to this meet water needs. Reporter the 70million Dollar Center can process eight millions a day that can reduce reliability on imported water during the drought. Its thinking about greater reliability and resilience in the water supply system. Reporter the hope is, if it can be used to irrigate farms, it can one day embrace the idea waste water can safely be turned into Drinking Water. It may take awhile to get the public to embrace this concept, so the next step may be taking this treated waste water, combining it with the existing ground water and then eventually using that as our Drinking Water.
