The WateReuse Association is pleased to announce the release of a new white paper, Advancing Water Reuse Within the Beverage Industry. The paper, written by GHD, is the result of a collaboration between WateReuse, PepsiCo, U.S. EPA, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and others as part of the National Water Reuse Action Plan. The white paper explores stakeholder engagement, regulatory, treatment, and technology issues related to water reuse within the beverage industry, along with key hurdles and near, medium, and long-term solutions to advance water reuse practices at beverage manufacturing plants.

The WateReuse Association and WateReuse California welcome Central Coast Blue (CCB). CCB is a regional recycled water project to develop a sustainable water supply and protect the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin. CCB is based on the idea that all water is connected, and all water has value – from our reservoirs and streams to our groundwater basins and imported supplies. CCB will include the construction of a new Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) to treat local wastewater. AWPF treatment technologies include Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and Ultraviolet Disinfection with Advanced Oxidation. In addition to the AWPF, Central Coast Blue will also include the construction of injection wells to recharge the groundwater basin with purified water and a piping network to carry the purified water from the AWPF to the injection wells.
