New Technology Minimizes Water Usage  California has just mandated strict General Waste Discharge Requirements for Winery Process Water. These new regulations will greatly impact small wineries in the State that were previous exempt. Many small wineries (840 – 8,400 cases) will be classified as Tier 1 dischargers and will be required to file permits, build treatment facilities, and perform expensive monitoring and reporting.

Wineries need to stop wasting water and generating contaminated runoff. GOfermentor has always been at the forefront of water conservation.
