West Yost has advised Stanford on recycled water use opportunities on campus since 2010. As part of our work for the university, West Yost prepared a recycled water white paper that outlines potential campus-related recycled water uses, recycled water regulations, permitting issues, and water quality.
West Yost worked with Stanford to determine the feasibility of injecting onsite groundwater into the campus-wide potable water system that is currently supplied with water purchased from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Additionally, West Yost prepared studies to assess the feasibility of alternative water supplies for non-potable applications, including the use of graywater, lake water, and process water for toilet flushing in new residence halls and academic buildings.

“My days are interesting because I work on a diversity of projects that secure water systems, conserve limited drinking water resources, and seek to identify sustainable alternative supplies. I also enjoy the people, I work with colleagues and clients that are passionate about their work and the communities they serve.
It is rewarding to work with clients such as Stanford University and East Bay Municipal Utility District on studies that assess the feasibility of alternative water supplies. I also support Silicon Valley Clean Water in the implementation of its RESCU Program which will fully replace and rehabilitate SVCW’s wastewater conveyance system. I am also proud to work with multiple Bay Area water agencies to assess risks and resilience of their water systems in compliance with the America’s Water Infrastructure Act.”
