State Policy and Regulations

States regulate the treatment and distribution of recycled water. Several states, such as California and Florida, have adopted comprehensive regulatory frameworks for water reuse. Other states offer guidelines to support the permitting of water reuse projects, with some states regulating projects on a case-by-case basis.
