San Ildefonso Pueblo Water Reclamation Facility

A membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility designed to be phased — beginning at 50,000 gpd to treat the existing Pueblo collection system and expandable to 200,000 gpd to collect and treat wastewater from El Rancho. The facility was designed to fit the community, with energy-efficient VFD pumps and integrated solar power, and treated effluent reused and/or returned to the Rio Grande for return-flow credits. Ewan Young has worked with San Ildefonso Pueblo for more than a decade; the treatment plant design was completed in 2018.
