  3. California DPR Partnership of WRRF and WateReuse California $8-10 million+ in three years • Member agencies • Engineers • Foundations Activities • Research focused on direct potable reuse • DPH expert panels per SB 918 • Education and outreach

  4. California DPR – Research Priorities Source water management Treatment • Critical control points • Monitoring • Controls • Reliability/resiliency • Water quality goals Operations and operator controls Communication plan

  5. DPR is Cost-Competitive From: Dave Smith, WateReuse California

  6. SCAPR Objectives - Refresher • Identify impediments • Define a common terminology • Gather best practices, state of the industry information, and case studies • Track CA and TX efforts • Create Advisory Panels • Conduct a scoping process to provide recommendations to ADEQ/ADWR • Develop a road map to potable reuse in Arizona

  7.

  8. Tech Toolbox Outcomes • Not a “one size fits all” technology solution • Develop a table of treatment technology options with targeted results • Develop a decision support flow chart for treatment trains • Input starting point • Input desired outcome(s) • Support with case studies and prior work

  9. Public Acceptance Workshop • 20 participants • Baseline presentations • Discussion of three questions: • What are the characteristics of a successful program? • What are the best practices? • How do we define success?

  11. Water Quality Regulations • Develop a draft framework • Performance-based • “Permit-able” • Flexible • Shoot holes in the draft –(Subject matter experts) • Refine as basis for discussion

  12. Advisory Panel on Emerging Contaminants Unregulated compounds All aspects of the water cycle • Chemical compounds • Biological • Public education What do we need to know for potable reuse?
