Part 6/12:
Arizona is actively investing in water reclamation and infrastructure projects to support its growing population and industries:
The Drought Pipeline Project supplies additional water from the Salt and Verde rivers.
Reclaimed water plants, like those built by TSMC and Intel, treat wastewater to high standards, recycling it within industrial and municipal cycles.
TSMC’s Reclaimed Water Center in Tainan, Taiwan, exemplifies technological advancements—filtering out contaminants like urea, enabling reclaimed wastewater to be used directly in fabs.
In Arizona, TSMC plans to open a 15-acre Industrial Reclamation Water Plant by 2025—aimed at supplying thousands of cubic meters of reclaimed water daily for its operations, reducing reliance on fresh water sources.
