WateReuse Hosts Congressional Briefing on Industrial Water Reuse

Last week, the WateReuse Association hosted a congressional briefing in Washington, DC to educate policymakers about industrial water reuse opportunities. The briefing comes as WateReuse champions the Advancing Water Reuse Act, H.R. 2940, which would create a 30% investment tax credit to help scale up the use of recycled water by manufacturers, data centers, and other industrial entities.

The briefing took place in the U.S. Senate Finance Committee room, and was moderated by Josh Mahan, Senior Director of Government and Industry Relations for Xylem. “We have a goal in this country to increase and attract industry and manufacturing, and to do that you need water,” said Chris Hogan, Director of US Public Affairs for Grundfos. Diana Rodriguez, Principal for Sustainability Policy at Amazon Web Services, discussed the growth of artificial intelligence and the industry’s desire to use more recycled water to support rapidly expanding operations. Chris Simiglou, Senior Director of Sustainability Strategy for PepsiCo Beverages North America highlighted his company’s commitment to water stewardship and reuse, and spoke to the role of industrial water reuse in protecting community water supplies. Dan Allen, Assistant City Administrator of Spring Hill, Tennessee explained how his city is pioneering purified water reservoir augmentation in Tennessee to meet the needs of a booming community that serves the most advanced General Motors plant in the country. He also noted that Spring Hill has had to turn away billions of dollars of economic development opportunities over the past several years due to lack of water supply and wastewater service capacity. “The biggest impediments to industries adopting water reuse are upfront capital costs,” said Jimmy Hague, Director of Federal Government Affairs for Veolia. “By advancing H.R. 2940, Congress can shine a light on industrial water reuse and make it more accessible to the industrial sector as a solution.”

PNW: New Resource Illuminates Water Recycling in the Pacific Northwest

WateReuse is proud to announce the Pacific Northwest Profile in Reuse, explaining key drivers, challenges, facts, and case studies related to water reuse in the region. This profile is the latest in our series of education and advocacy documents that highlight reuse efforts in regions across the United States. Despite spanning from wet to dry climates and from urban to rural communities, the states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington share key drivers for water reuse, including drought, aging infrastructure, and a wave of stricter discharge regulations. This profile in reuse encompasses a range of reuse projects in the region, including efforts to replenish groundwater, irrigate farms and gardens, and cool data centers. Dive into the Pacific Northwest Profile in Reuse for more details about how this vital region is adapting and innovating for a sustainable water supply.

TX: Cambrian Wins Global Water Award Distinction for Industrial Project of the Year

Last month, WateReuse member Cambrian Innovation was honored with Global Water Award Distinction for Industrial Project of the Year for its partnership with Anheuser-Busch to implement water recycling systems at its Houston brewery. Cambrian implemented a proprietary advanced membrane bioreactor system at the facility, which treats over 400,000 gallons of wastewater per day to drinking water quality. The recycled water is used for non-potable purposes at the site and is expected to treat 3.45 billion gallons over the organizations’ 20-year contract term.

Xylem Partners with Manchester City FC to Capture and Reuse Rainwater at City Football Academy

WateReuse member Xylem has partnered with Manchester City Football Club to implement rainwater capture and reuse at its City Football Academy. The Academy has adopted Xylem Vue, a digital water platform that uses sensors and smart meters to track water throughout the facility, equipping the club with real-time data and insights about its water usage to help optimize recycling efforts. Manchester City currently uses harvested rainwater and recycling for irrigation at its Etihad Stadium, saving over 13 million gallons of potable water, and aims to increase its water savings by capturing and reusing 100% of stormwater runoff on site by mid-2026. With natural fields consuming over 6,000 gallons in peak summer months, the system’s water management insights will help the Academy expand its recycling effort to the academy and offset consumption to meet its reuse goals.
