Water is the fuel of the new economy. The Industrial Water Solutions conference, June 23-25 in Columbus, Ohio, will bring together business and utility leaders for knowledge-sharing, networking, and collaboration, illuminating how industry can work with utilities to advance water reuse and build markets for resource recovery.

WateReuse Association and the Water Environment Federation are seeking your submissions of 25-minute presentations, 55-minute panels, and 15-minute TEDx-style Lightning Round presentations. Showcase initiatives, case studies, research, or other solutions that explore the latest technological advancements and sustainable practices designed to optimize water use, enhance efficiency, and address critical challenges across vital industrial sectors including agriculture; automotive; chip & semiconductor manufacturing, data centers; commercial & recreational; cosmetics; energy sectors; food & beverage; mining; pharmaceuticals; pulp & paper; and textiles.

Last week marked the fifth anniversary of the National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the WRAP in partnership with other federal agencies, the WateReuse Association, and stakeholders from across the country. Three members of the Trump Administration’s cabinet—EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue—participated in the launch event on February 27, 2020. Since then, the WRAP has grown to include over 150 partners collaborating across 100 actions aimed at accelerating the adoption of water reuse across the country.

Over the past five years, WRAP partners have created powerful tools including a tracker of state and international regulatory approaches, connected utilities and communities with funding opportunities and technical assistance providers, published a library of water reuse communications materials, and much more. WateReuse Association looks forward to continuing our work with EPA and WRAP partners to scale up water recycling as a multi-benefit tool.

WateReuse member West Basin Municipal Water District – a wholesale water agency that serves nearly one million people in Los Angeles County – has announced a major milestone in water recycling with the completion of the Phase II Expansion Project at the Juanita Millender-McDonald Carson Regional Water Recycling Plant. This project includes the installation of a Custom Engineered Membrane Filtration system, significantly increasing the plant’s capacity and reinforcing the District’s commitment to innovative water solutions. The system can process nearly six million gallons of recycled water per day, ensuring a reliable supply of treated water for industrial use.

Are you working to implement water reuse regulations in your state? And how have other states approached water reuse? This is the question that Jessie Langdon of Ohio EPA had in 2025. In this webcast Jessie invites Jo Ann Jackson, One Water National Practice Leader, Black and Veatch, to help explore the approaches taken by other states from California to Colorado, Florida to Texas, and beyond.
