WateReuse applauds Bureau of Reclamation for funding

The WateReuse Association is commending the Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Brenda Burman’s announcement that Reclamation is awarding $35.3 million to six authorized Title XVI water reclamation and reuse projects in California. Five of the six utilities receiving funding are WateReuse members that will use the funding to diversify the water supply and increase resiliency during water shortages.

“WateReuse members are leading the way in innovation in water recycling,” said WateReuse Association Executive Director Patricia Sinicropi. “Title XVI is the only federal program that provides funding specifically for water reuse projects in the western states and has become an essential tool in helping our member utilities develop the infrastructure needed to sustain a safe, reliable, and locally controlled water supply.”
