California: WateReuse CA Pushes For Recycled Water Policy Changes

Last week, WateReuse California submitted comments on proposed amendments to the California Recycled Water Policy.  Last updated in 2013, the policy includes a number of significant changes for recycled water agencies in California. These changes include permitting, potable reuse bioassay monitoring, the wastewater change petition process, the goals for California water recycling and more. WateReuse California and other California recycled water agencies testified at a recent water board hearing raising a number of concerns. Final adoption of the Policy is expected in December.  See written comments.

California: Pure Water San Diego Environmental Impact Report Approved

WateReuse Association member Dudek announced the certification of the Pure Water San Diego Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement. The milestone marks the completion of a three-year analysis of the proposed Pure Water Program by Dudek. One of the most ambitious water recycling programs in the nation, the Pure Water facility seeks to treat 83 million gallons per day to produce potable water for San Diego’s more than three million residents.

Colorado: Court Blocks Coors Water Reuse Plan

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled against Coors Brewing Company last Monday, ruling that the beer company must first obtain a new water right to reuse or lease water to other businesses once water leaves its Golden, CO manufacturing plant. Coors wanted to reuse water after it left its treatment plant and lease water rights for that water to other companies. The Coors’ water reuse plan was opposed by surrounding communities. Read More.

Florida: JEA is Studying Two Approaches to Potable Reuse

WateReuse Association member JEA is testing two treatment processes for potable reuse as part of a $2 million project. The first method is a biological process that involves the use of iron and ozone. The second method is a typical reverse osmosis treatment train. The two-year pilot test could result in a potable reuse facility within the next ten years. Read More.
