How does MassDEP regulate water reuse projects?
In 2000, MassDEP issued Interim Guidelines on Reclaimed Water to guide the permitting and operation of water reuse facilities. In 2004, MassDEP began a comprehensive review of its Guidelines as well as national experience and the recently-published EPA guidelines. Our intent is to develop a new set of regulations to encourage water reuse in Massachusetts while continuing to protect public health.
