BACKGROUND
Bluffdale is providing culinary water for use as non-contact cooling water in the climate control system at a data center that is located on property at Camp Williams. The culinary water will be used in the system and cycled through a holding tank then out to be discharged. The primary outfall is to the Utah and Salt Lake Canal just below the Narrows Diversion Dam for canals in Salt Lake County. The secondary outfall is to the Jordan River at the same area as the primary point. A third outfall is to the pressurized irrigation system in Bluffdale. The cooling water would be considered very clean and the high quality of the effluent makes it eligible to be used as Reuse Water.
