Recycled Water Fill Stations
In June 2015, Ironhouse officially opened a two different Recycled Water Fill Stations—a Residential Recycled Water Fill Station and Commercial Recycled Water Fill Station. Each offers high-quality recycled water available for outdoor watering needs.
he Residential Recycled Water Fill Station located near Ironhouse Main Office at its headquarters in Oakley allows Oakley and Bethel Island residents FREE access to available recycled water for irrigation of plants, trees, and gardens.
The Commercial Recycled Water Fill Station located near the Water Recycling Facility at Ironhouse's headquarters in Oakley offers a way to conserve potable water and can be used for construction purposes, including grading and compaction, wetting pads, dust control, landscape irrigation, and more.

Because saving potable water will always be a concern in California, Ironhouse will continue to offer FREE recycled water for pick up at our Residential Recycled Water Fill Station. This is a great way to not only save valuable drinking water but also save money while keeping lawns, trees and plants green.
Recycled water can be used for:
Watering your trees
- Gardens
- Vegetables
- Lawn irrigation
- Washing your car
- Cleaning outdoor furniture
- Washing Hard surfaces (paths, walls, windows, etc.)
Recycled water is NOT suitable for:
- Drinking
- Cooking or use in the kitchen
- Bathing or showering
- Filling swimming pools or spas
- Children's water toys
- Plumbing to the household domestic plumbing system
How to sign-up for Recycled Water

To schedule the training meeting, please call (925) 625-7924. To save time, the agreement can be filled out beforehand and brought to the training meeting or obtained at the meeting.
If you are not from Oakley or Bethel Island but would like to access Ironhouse's recycled water, we are pleased to offer our residential recycled water service to those outside our service area for an annual fee of $35. This fee is valid until December 31 of the year it is issued, allowing you plenty of time to use our service. You can fill as many loads as you need each day without any concerns. For more information, please feel free to contact us at (925) 625-2279.
The Residential Recycled Water Fill station is located at Ironhouse's Administration Building at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive in Oakley. (Take Main Street to the cross streets of Rose Avenue and Districts Way, then turn onto Districts Way under the railroad tracks.)

Customers are using a variety of containers depending on the weight and size that they and their vehicles can handle.
Water is heavy, so come prepared!
Keep in mind that your containers must have water-tight lids that prevent leaking. The minimum size container is 1 gallon. The maximum size load is 300 gallons, but you can return as often as you like. We are enforcing the 300-gallon limit.
One gallon of water weighs 8.345 pounds; 100 gallons weighs 834.5 pounds. When driving a vehicle with such a heavy-weight please make sure to allow enough stopping distance and containers are secured for safe transport.
Tanks, pumps, hoses, and equipment that contain recycled water must not be connected to a buried irrigation systems, even if they are disconnected from your drinking water system. This is a human health concern. We do not want you or your neighbors to end up drinking recycled water due to an illegal interconnection between the drinking water supply and recycled water supply.
Larger loads for commercial uses are available from the Commercial Recycled Water Fill Station. For more information, call Ironhouse at 925-625-7924.
