Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From patchwork to progress: advancing water reuse regulations
Q: What challenges do states face and how does the guide address them?
Challenges include clarifying why water reuse is pursued, managing fragmented regulatory authority, and building political support; the guide includes a challenges assessment and emphasizes early stakeholder engagement to address these issues.
From patchwork to progress: advancing water reuse regulations
Q: What does the guide offer that states and utilities don't already have when considering water reuse regulations?
It consolidates a wealth of information, presents four rulemaking pathways (modifying existing rules, adopting new statutes, etc.), and provides recommendations while allowing for state-specific adaptation and language, making it easier for regulators to navigate diverse frameworks.
From patchwork to progress: advancing water reuse regulations
Q: Bruno, what prompted the development of the State Water Reuse Regulatory Guide?
The EPA maps highlighted an uneven patchwork of regulations across the U.S., prompting the Water Reuse Association to synthesize lessons from different state processes into one flexible guide to help communities and states start from a common, informed baseline.
Water News Roundup: Colorado River Lawsuit, Cyber Threats and StormCon Takeaways
Q: Is Arizona actually in a water crisis?
Porter acknowledges that the situation is nuanced: while there is not an immediate water shortfall, the Colorado River is increasingly unreliable, and planning around this uncertainty is essential for the state.
Beyond Treatment: Building Resilient and Sustainable Water Reuse Projects
Q: All right. What's one widely held assumption about water reuse that has proven to be incorrect?
The guest challenges the notion that portable reuse is intrinsically cost-prohibitive, highlighting mature treatment technologies, matrix-specific design considerations, and comparable or lower costs versus alternative water supply options in many cases.
