WateReuse Association

The WateReuse Association has selected Bruno Pigott for the role of Executive Director. Pigott brings over three decades of leadership in environmental policy and infrastructure investment at the local, state, and federal levels. Most recently, he served as the Acting Assistant Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water, where he oversaw all safe drinking water, wastewater, and surface water programs, as well as the National Water Reuse Action Plan.

The Annual WateReuse Symposium is the premier conference on water recycling — attracting water professionals and water reuse practitioners globally for knowledge-sharing, networking, and collaboration. The Symposium is the most comprehensive water recycling learning opportunity available, covering policy, technology, operations, and communications for applications that range from irrigation and potable reuse to onsite and industrial systems.

On Thursday, April 17, Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), and Brad Schneider (D-IL) introduced the Advancing Water Reuse Act (H.R.2940) which aims to catalyze the use of recycled water by manufacturers, data centers, and other industrial entities. While nearly 70 per cent of the planet is covered by water, only two and a half per cent is freshwater, and only one per cent is accessible.
