The 37th Annual WateReuse Symposium brought five plenaries, nearly 70 hours of technical sessions, and over 550 in-person participants to San Antonio, TX last week. A few highlights:

On Tuesday evening, we celebrated WateReuse members at the historic Knibbe Ranch. The Jody Jenkins Band got the crowd dancing and a fireworks show gave the night some extra sparkle. Attendees including our own Executive Director Pat Sinicropi and President Craig Lichty took part in the time-honored tradition of armadillo racing!

Washington, DC | April 26-27, 2022

WateReuse Association will co-host the National Water Policy Fly-In in Washington, D.C. April 26-27 as part of Water Week 2022. Water professionals from around the country will convene to advocate with federally elected officials and key policymakers about the importance of water recycling nationwide.

The National Water Week Policy Fly In is co-hosted by the WateReuse Association, Water Environment Federation, National Association of Clean Water Agencies, and Water Research Foundation.

Last week, WateReuse Association Executive Director Pat Sinicropi joined Troutman Pepper’s Reflections on Water Podcast with David Ross, former Assistant Administrator for the Office of Water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and co-host Anna Wildeman.

The conversation explored the broadening definition of water recycling to cover industrial and on-site applications, and forecasted a large role for reuse in future corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. “Water recycling really is about not wasting any water that you use once,” said Sinicropi, “whether it’s water that comes from your home or business, whether it’s storm water that’s falling on your property that you use in your garden or in a cooling system in your building, those are all forms of water recycling.”
