The South County Regional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA) is a joint powers authority established to manage wastewater treatment for the cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill. The current primary and secondary treatment facilities were originally commissioned in 1994 with an average dry weather flow (ADWF) capacity of 7.5 million gallons per day (mgd). System upgrades in 2002, followed by performance testing in 2007, resulted in the facility being re-rated to treat up to 8.5 mgd ADWF.

In partnership with Valley Water, SCRWA also operates a recycled water facility co-located at the treatment plant. This facility was brought online in 1995 with a reliable treatment capacity of 3 mgd and was expanded in 2006 to handle up to 9 mgd.

A major maintenance and upgrade project was completed in 2016, including installation of an Ovivo diffused air system and a Wedeco ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system capable of treating up to 9 mgd.

SCRWA has begun a significant expansion project in 2025. This project includes the addition of a 2.5 mgd membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, a new headworks facility, and a new dewatering building.

Registration for this event is limited to 32 attendees, with a cost of $45.00 per participant. The registration includes a guided tour of the facility, plus a hearty catered lunch from a fantastic local BBQ joint—smoked meats, savory sides, and sweet tea included. Stick around for raffle-style door prizes and great networking with fellow water professionals!
