A new pipeline in Banning, CA will carry recycled water to the Sun Lakes community, where it will be used to irrigate street medians, greenbelts, parks and golf courses, reports the Press-Enterprise.

Constuction of the five-mile pipeline may begin in December. It will take about two years to complete.

Using recycled water for irrigation will save potable water for drinking, Banning Utilities Director Jim Earhart told the Press-Enterprise. The city currently uses the same water for drinking and irrigating.

The waterwaste treatment plant will also be expanded from 3.6 million to 5.1 million gallons per day to supply adequate recycled water to the new pipeline.
