| Details | TOPIC - Potable Reuse: Lessons Learned from California's Path Forward The ASCE Orange County Branch invites you to attend the May Luncheon featuring Rich Nagel, Vice President and Water Division Client Account Manager in the Jacobs Los Angeles office, for a presentation on the success stories, lessons learned, and current regulatory setting of potable reuse. As California grows, the stress to its water resources is further expedited by drought, climate change, and environmental regulations. The state has looked to potable reuse to diversify supply portfolios and help close the gap between supply and demand. Aside from public acceptance, the path toward potable reuse has had many obstacles including regulations, cost, chemical and pathogen removal, and brine discharge. Of the eight permitted facilities in California, the Orange County Water District's Groundwater Replenishment System and West Basin Municipal Water District's 5 Designer Waters serve as prime examples of potable reuse and provide many lessons learned. This presentation will provide an overview on challenges, success stories, and current regulatory setting. With new potable reuse projects on the horizon, the path forward is paved with research, framework, and regulations; driving California toward a more resilient and sustainable future.
