Today, we join the US Water Alliance and the entire water sector in imagining a day without water.

From irrigation and industrial reuse to potable systems, alternative water supplies are protecting and augmenting drinking water systems across the country — all in service of ensuring we never have to face a day without water.

Today, we celebrate our water reuse community and our members whose initiatives are securing long-term resilience and security for their communities.

Join us this week for a webcast on machine learning applications for potable reuse!

This Thursday, October 15, Andrea Odegard-Begay (Hazen and Sawyer) and Kyle Thompson (Carollo Engineers) will discuss how to implement machine learning into reuse systems to better understand system behavior, support predictive monitoring, and improve design and operational decision making.

Machine learning (ML) provides a powerful framework for extracting actionable insight from complex water quality and operational datasets, but it remains underutilized in the water sector. Many reuse systems generate large volumes of monitoring, laboratory, and process data that are difficult to ful

Last week, WateReuse staff and members headed to WEFTEC 2026 to elevate the value of water reuse. Executive Director Bruno Pigott moderated a panel on Tuesday focused on how water reuse is driving the digital economy. “What we have heard today is that the real choice is between freshwater that is already spoken for and supplies that reuse, desalination, and advanced treatment can make available, often from within the same site,” he said. The discussion focused on strategies for planning and siting data centers to connect to reuse systems, balancing energy demands with water needs, and AI for treatment and monitoring.

WateReuse representatives also shared the fundamentals of reuse with audiences in a technical session. Zeynep Erdal, chair of WateReuse’s Research Committee, and WateReuse Illinois President Tim Gualandri participated in a “Water Reuse 101” session covering types of reuse, drivers, treatment trains, the regulatory landscape, and a case study from WateReuse member Hampton Roads Sanitation District’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure for Tomorrow initiative.

“South Carolina is a water rich state, but we also have our share of water challenges.”

Tricia H. Kilgore, P.E., Director of Technology and Innovation at Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, shared how our new guide to developing water reuse regulations will pave the way to address water issues in her state.

“Our population is booming while our disposal options shrink. Saltwater intrusion is shutting down coastal wells, and this summer over half of our state is experiencing a severe drought. Water reuse is a valuable tool to address these challenges. I’m excited to use this guide in our effort to develop safe, workable regulations and unleash the potential of reuse in South Carolina.”

The guide is designed to support the development of regulations across diverse geographies with unique drivers, challenges, and policy landscapes.

📕 New Resource Available: Developing Water Reuse Regulations: A State-Level Guide
⬇️Get the guide: https://watereuse.org/advocacy/state-policy-and-regulations/guide/

Today WateReuse Association and our partners released a first-of-its-kind free resource designed to help utilities, regulators and industry practitioners develop water reuse regulations tailored to state-specific needs.

The guide was made possible by financial and technical support from the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA), American Water Works Association (AWWA), National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), and Water Environment Federation (WEF). Brown and Caldwell led the development of the guide in collaboration with Hazen and Sawyer.
