Their effluent particulate concentration dropped by 93% (confirmed by government lab documentation<a href=\"#ref-5\" class=\"reference-marker-inline-951\">5<\/a>). Efficiency gains were staggering\u2014water reuse rose by 35%. Last quarter, their environmental compliance reports were flagged as &#8220;best practice&#8221; by a regional government study.
