Brown is the new green as businesses and residents alike embrace mandatory 25% water conservation throughout the Tri-Valley. 

The City of Pleasanton is being proactive in pursuit of both short and long term solutions, taking advantage of low cost state loans to substitute recycled water for potable water where feasible while meeting health and safety standards. 

 
Construction will soon begin to extend a purple pipe (recycled water line) eastward under Hopyard Road from the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) treatment plant near I-680 at Stoneridge Drive to connect with Hacienda's pre-existing purple pipe system installed throughout its 800 acres in the 1980's but never connected.
 

The new purple pipe will then be extended south to the Ken Mercer Sports Park and all playing fields in the 105-acre facility will be converted to recycled water. According to the City, these projects will be completed by June 2015. On an annual basis this will supplant as much as 12-15% of the community's typical potable water demands. 

Eventually purple pipe will extend to Callippe Preserve Golf Course at the south end of town. Until then, the City will continue to send as many as four water trucks, four times a day to Callippe with recycled water. Permanently taking Callippe out of the potable water equation potentially frees up another 3-5%, improving the total availability of potable water city-wide by as much as 15-20%.
