The Southeast Houghton Area Recharge Project takes treated wastewater and pumps it into three large basins. The basins are built to have a bottom of porous earth.

The city says each basin can infiltrate about seven feet of water per day. That works out to 1.3 billion gallons of recycled water per year.
