A recent Engineering News Record story explored drivers, costs, and benefits of potable reuse in the United States. The article quoted and mentioned numerous WateReuse members, including EPWater, Orange County Water District, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, LASAN, City of San Diego, Aurora Water, Jacobs, PCL Construction, Carollo Engineers, and Stantec. “All treatment of water is starting to get more and more expensive, so the difference in paying for a reuse system versus just regular treatment is getting smaller,” said Richard Hewitt, Vice President and District Manager for PCL Construction. Brenley McKenna, Managing Director of WateReuse California, shared her thoughts on the surge of potable reuse projects in California, saying that it’s “unlike anything we’ve seen before.” |
