This week, AWWA’s six councils are meeting in Denver to discuss the theme of water reuse. What is water reuse?

According to Plain Talk About Drinking Water and simply put, “Reclaimed water, also referred to as reuse water or recycled water, is wastewater treated to reusable standards.” This water is often used for irrigation or industrial purposes.

AWWA has released a wide variety of information that can help consumers understand this process.
