Water Reuse Pacific Northwest Award for Excellence
The WateReuse Pacific Northwest Awards for Excellence recognize individuals and projects that have made significant contributions in support of greater adoption of water reuse. Award recipients exhibit leadership in advancing education, advocacy, technology, and management of water resources, showcasing innovative approaches that others can follow to build resilient communities through water recycling.
This year, the WateReuse Pacific Northwest Section will recognize a utility or local government entity that provides a safe, reliable, locally controlled water supply through the development of water recycling treatment facilities, infrastructure and/or other water reuse projects. The awardee in this category will showcase an exemplary water reuse project, system, and/or facilities that demonstrate the value of water reuse to the communities they serve. The award will be given at the 2025 PNCWA Conference in Portland, OR, on September 14-17. You do not have to be present to receive the award; however, participation in the conference is encouraged. The awardee will be notified at least one month before the conference.
To submit a nomination, please complete the Nomination Form.

- Technical Innovation

The WateReuse Association Pacific Northwest (PNW) section, in partnership with the City of Newberg, is hosting its fourth annual Summer Summit and Social on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at Chehalem Glenn Golf Course.
Chehalem Glenn is a beautiful 18-hole golf course in Newberg, Oregon. Opened in 2005, the facility began irrigating with recycled water from the City of Newberg’s water resource recovery facility in 2008. Chehalem Glenn is a public course, owned and operated by Chehalem Park & Recreation District. Use of recycled water supports the operation of an affordable, community asset while conserving local water resources.
