Arizona has a long history of water reuse starting in at least 1926 and currently as much as two-thirds of all treated wastewater generated in Arizona is reused for a variety of purposes. The rules established a permit system and reclaimed water quality standards for a multitude of end uses. The rules also covered gray water use. These rules are currently in the process of being updated.

California has one of the most developed regulatory environments for water reuse. California’s California Recycled Water Policy , which includes a “Mandate for the Use of Recycled Water,” was adopted in 2009 and amended in 2013. California adopted indirect potable reuse rules that provide detailed criteria for treatment processes, contaminants to test for, and how long treated water must remain underground. Some California cities are developing their own onsite reuse ordinances.

Water reuse was established as a state objective in 1989 and the state has since created a supportive regulatory environment. Florida has regulations that specify requirements of how reclaimed water is to be treated depending on the use or application of the water. The 2008 Ocean Outfall Legislation was the first time reuse was mandated at the state level and caused an increase in reuse projects in South Florida. Florida is the leader in indirect potable reuse (IPR) for groundwater recharge and preventing salterwater intrusion.

Texas has the third highest reclaimed water flows in the country behind California and Florida. Water reuse goals are published under the state’s State Water Plan which is published every five years and outlines water management strategies. The 2017 State Water Plan called for 4.5 million cubic meters per day of additional reuse capacity over a 50-year period with 85 projects specified. There are regulations for the use of onsite or decentralized reuse systems for graywater systems and some alternative sources.
