Big Sky County Water and Sewer District discusses more possibilities for reusing water
Reuse master plan outlines ways the district could expand use of treated wastewater. At a Sept. 13 public event called “District on Tap,” the Big Sky County Water and Sewer District board shared options for water reuse, from Town Center irrigation to wildfire mitigation. The district does not discharge treated wastewater into the Gallatin River — instead, incoming wastewater is treated beyond Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s drinking water standards, is stored in ponds and can be reused for irrigation and snowmaking.
