Future growth in Caldwell County will increase waste<strong>water</strong> production to anestimated 10.2 mgd. If 70 percent of the waste<strong>water</strong> is treated by <strong>regional</strong>waste<strong>water</strong> treatment plants, the volume of waste<strong>water</strong> produced will be 7.1 mgd.If 50 percent of the reclaimed <strong>water</strong> is reused, the waste<strong>water</strong> to be discharged tostreams will be 3.6 mgd. If Type I reclaimed <strong>water</strong> is produced, the futurepollutant loading will be less than the current loading.

Vegetated filter strips adjacent to streams can provide significantstorm<strong>water</strong> treatment as overl<strong>and</strong> flow passes through the filter strips.It is recommended that entities in Caldwell County that have regulatory authorityimplement requirements for filter strips adjacent to streams. The filter stripsshould be on each side of the stream with the width of the filter strip beingmeasured from the top of bank for the stream. The recommended filter stripswidths are presented in Table 14-7.Klotz Associates Project No. 0972.000.000January 201014-20Caldwell County Regional Water <strong>and</strong> Waste<strong>water</strong> Planning StudyFinal Report
