There are no overarching federal regulations specific to water reuse. Instead, states, Tribes, and territories can establish their own regulations or standards. This approach has led to a fragmented landscape for aspiring water reuse practitioners, including industrial water users who operate in many states. Join us for an informational webinar with EPA’s Water Reuse Program, which is working to remove barriers to water reuse. Our presenters will address the latest developments of EPA’s Water Reuse Action Plan 2.0 initiative and will highlight the EPA’s priorities for advancing water reuse in key industrial sectors, such as manufacturing and AI.
Presenters will also provide a live walkthrough of the REUSExplorer, which is EPA’s searchable tool for navigating summaries of state reuse regulations. Additionally, the webinar will provide insight into EPA’s 2025 publication Risk-Based Framework for Developing Microbial Treatment Targets – this framework is intended to support states without reuse regulations in identifying treatment targets for pathogens in certain water reuse scenarios. Attendees will leave with new resources and tools they can incorporate and utilize in existing or future water reuse activities.
