State Water Board Adopts New Regulations for Direct Potable Reuse

In December 2023 the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted new regulations for direct potable reuse. This is a landmark step in California that took many years of input and leadership from some of the best scientific and engineering minds in California and throughout the US. The State Water Board’s Expert Panel that helped ensure that the regulations would adequately protect public health was co-led by EOA’s co-founder Adam Olivieri. A journal publication (Environmental Science Water Research and Technology, September 2023) describes the science-based process that the expert panel implemented.
