Grand Canyon Water Reclamation Plant
Grand Canyon Water Reclamation Plant, Wastewater treatment facility in Grand Canyon Village, US
The Grand Canyon Water Reclamation Plant operates multiple treatment stages, including bar screens, sedimentation tanks, aeration systems, and anthracite coal filters for water purification.
Completed in May 1926, this facility pioneered water reclamation principles in the United States and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1974.
The facility represents early environmental engineering developments in national parks, demonstrating the integration of municipal services with natural preservation.
Located on the South Rim, the plant contains a laboratory, mechanical systems, and a two-story frame structure with a 300,000-gallon water holding capacity.
The facility maintains most of its original equipment from 1926, processing wastewater for non-potable uses such as locomotive boilers and irrigation systems.
