Delta Diablo (District) provides wastewater conveyance and treatment services for approximately 213,000 customers in the cities of Antioch and Pittsburg, and the unincorporated community of Bay Point. As part of our core mission to protect public health and theenvironment, the District treats approximately 13 million gallons of wastewater each day with a focus on exemplary regulatory compliance, innovative and sustainable approaches, and sound stewardship of the public's resources and trust. The District has transformed its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located in Antioch along the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, into a "resource recovery facility" by producing approximately 6 million gallons of recycled water each day, generating on-site renewable energy to meet over 55 percent of WWTP power needs, reusing biosolids (stabilized residual solids from wastewater treatment process) as fertilizer via land application, providing regional household hazardous waste collection services, and further protecting the Delta by providing street sweeping services to remove pollutants that would otherwise enter local stormwater systems.
