Understanding Public Concerns of Indirect Potable Reuse Projects

Abstract

This report outlines practices to ensure that well-planned indirect potable reuse (IPR) projects receive fair consideration in water supply decisions. The report provides guidance to help a sponsoring utility become confident about managing public perception issues. It also details best practices to help sponsoring agencies maintain their reputation, even if their proposed IPR project is not adopted in a given community.

Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-01-04.
