increasingly scarce. Scarcity, coupled with stringent water regulations and aging infrastructure has led
to continuous and substantial increases in water rates nationwide over the last twenty years. In
addition, escalating urbanization rates have increased water loads for current wastewater treatment
systems, and motivated tighter regulatory control. These facts create concern on whether existing
systems can provide a viable solution to stabilizing water supply and ensuring sanitary water conditions
in the future. This new reality of water scarcity has created a need for water reclamation and reuse
technologies that are not only safe and cost effective, but also lower our environmental footprint and
allow for a sustainable future.
Organica Water has a developed a new wastewater treatment system that combines conventional
methods of wastewater technology with advanced ecological engineering to treat water through the use
of a complex adaptive ecosystem. The result is a 1,500 sq.ft greenhouse. The aptly named BlueHouseâ„¢
treats and recycles up to 24 million gallons of sanitary and storm water per year for a variety of nonpotable
applications like cooling towers or boiler makeup, irrigation, and toilet water. The vegetation
inside the BlueHouseâ„¢ provides a habitat for a highly diverse ecosystems, comprised of more than 3,000
species of bacteria and other organisms, which breaks down the organic waste. Through the use of
these natural processes the BlueHouseâ„¢ minimizes its environmental footprint, while also possessing an
aesthetically pleasing design and odorless treatment process. The BlueHouseâ„¢ water treatment and
reclamation system is an exceedingly flexible and appealing option in any environment, urban or rural.
Using a decentralized approach by treating and reusing wastewater locally, the BlueHouseâ„¢ technology
makes ecological and economic sense. With a capacity to reuse water, considerable operational savings
can be realized by using treated water for cooling towers, boiler systems, irrigation and other nonpotable
needs. The flexible size and simple operation of the BlueHouseâ„¢ technology lends itself to
being a viable solution: Ideal for large commercial, institutional or industrial sites the BlueHouseâ„¢
ensures better treatment characteristics, higher quality of water, lower energy consumption, and cost
savings in operations and overall footprint.

Now that is something we can all drink to!
Great article. Very pleased to see alternative methods of treatment being implemented. Our own bio process is quite extraordinary in that we use no harmful chemicals or pumping, a simple blower and an activated sludge process rids the water of the contaminants good enough for release to the environment here in Ireland. Good luck with your endeavours!
