Decentralized Non-Potable Water Systems Report

EOA co-founder Adam Olivieri served on an independent expert advisory panel to develop a risk-based framework to establish scale-appropriate public health guidance for decentralized non-potable water (DNW) systems.  The project was coordinated by the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation through the National Water Research Institute and in collaboration with San Francisco Water Power and Sewer, the, and the Water Research Foundation.  The report was completed in 2017 and provides guidance on water quality pathogen targets for DNW systems, which are used to collect, treat, and re-use water from local sources (e.g. roof runoff, stormwater, graywater, and wastewater) for various and non-potable applications. The framework guidance also includes monitoring regimes for water quality, management considerations for systems, strategies for permitting projects, and applications and end uses of treated alternate water sources.
