Potable Reuse Permitting, Regulatory Framework
and Trends

Room: Mile High Ballroom 3C
Track: Potable Reuse
Moderator: Jason Curl
Water utilities are examining potable reuse as part of their
master plan updates, reviewing at when and how potable reuse
may become viable in the future. Some of the primary drivers
of potable reuse for the agencies currently working on these
projects are the need for additional water supply, the desire for
locally controlled water supply, and the appeal for wastewater
resource recovery and revenue generation. Hear from experts
about the business side of making reuse a viable option.
