San Jose Contracts with CH2M to Design and Build Cogen Facility
August 19, 2016
The San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Waste Water Facility located at 700 Los Esteros Road in northern San Jose was originally built in 1956 and serves many municipalities including San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Cupertino, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga. The facility is jointly owned by San Jose and Santa Clara and operated by the San Jose Environmental Services Department. Due to an aged and failing power system that runs the waste water treatment services, a new cogeneration facility project is underway to provide energy and heat onsite.
