WE&RF Study Named WateReuse Project of the Year

The Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WE&RF), in partnership with CH2M, the University of Arizona, and Tucson Water, was awarded “Project of the Year” for a potable reuse study at the WateReuse Arizona Water Reuse 2016 Symposium in Flagstaff, Ariz.

The project “Potable Reuse for Inland Locations: Pilot Testing Results from a New Potable Reuse Treatment Scheme” (Reuse-13-09) examines alternative treatment schemes for inland communities where traditional reverse osmosis (RO)-based approaches would be costly and environmentally challenging. The six-month pilot consisted of multiple barriers for pathogens and organics including soil aquifer treatment (SAT), sidestream nanofiltration (NF), ozone and granular activated carbon filtration.
