New Water Purification Facility Opens In San Jose

SAN JOSE, CA - JULY 18: A view of the reverse osmosis system at the new Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center on July 18, 2014 in San Jose, California. Days after the California Water Resources Control Board approved a $500 per day fine for residents who waste water on landscaping, hosing down sidewalks and car washing, the Santa Clara Valley Water District opened its new $72 million Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center that is capable of daily converting 8 million gallons of treated waste water into purified water. The water will be used for landscaping in the county as well as for toilets at the new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
