San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant (Plant) Master Plan
Planning a world-class wastewater facility that benefits you, your family, and your community
The City of San José is leading the Plant Master Plan effort to benefit residents and businesses in the eight South Bay cities that daily rely on the Plant to manage their wastewater. This website will help you learn about the Plant and Plant Master Plan, and provide opportunities for you to participate in the planning process.

HELP THE PLANT
The Plant does an amazing job removing pollutants from the wastewater to protect our health and the fragile Bay environment. But, the Plant can't remove everything in the water. Some items are difficult to remove or neutralize, such as harsh cleaning chemicals, pesticides, paint, and solvents.
Preventing pollution begins with you:
Avoid antibacterial soaps with triclosan
Dispose of pharmaceuticals at your local pharmacy or Household Hazardous Waste facility for free
Exchange your mercury thermometer for a free digital one
