 New Project Harnesses Solar Power to Dry Biosolids at Tres Ríos
A long-closed landfill is about to get a new lease on life, thanks to a new Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (RWRD) project.
The Ina Road Landfill, located on the east bank of the Santa Cruz River south of Ina Road, will be used to help dry the biosolids that are produced at the nearby Tres Ríos Water Reclamation Facility. The landfill closed in June 2010 after reaching capacity.
Director's View
Life never really slows down here at our department. That’s why I think it’s important to take a step back every now and then to look at the big picture, and to really remind yourself of the importance of the work you do here.
After all, our entire team plays a critical role in protecting public health, the public safety, and the environment. We’re still committed to increasing efficiency at every level of our organization, while striving to provide the residents of Pima County with the best service possible.
