Potable reuse is the process of purifying our wastewater to make it drinkable. Wastewater from homes
and businesses is forced through very fine filters allowing water molecules through while trapping
dissolved salts and impurities. Potable reuse is an efficient source of water because it makes use of
water that is already in our local water system and it is also good for the environment, because it takes
impurities out of the system eliminating the need to discharge polluted water into the ocean.
Communities around the country are already drinking it as part of their normal water supply.
