2007 WateReuse Award WinnersWateReuse Projects of the Year – Largeand Mary Trail, Kennedy-Jenks ConsultantsIntegrated Water Reuse Management at City of Scottsdale,Arizona: The Water Reclamation Plant Expansionand Reuse Water Distribution System Water QualityImprovements Study (Scottsdale, AZ)Nominated by: Arizona Water Pollution & Control AssociationThe City of Scottsdale’s approach to integrated waterreuse management is an innovative contribution to waterreuse and exemplifies a strong commitment to the environmentas well as unique and effective public–privatepartnering. In 2006, the City of Scottsdale achieved twomajor water reuse achievements: The first was achieving“safe yield” in compliance with the State of Arizona’sGroundwater Management Act, which defines “safeyield” as a long-term balance between water that is naturallyand/or artificially recharged to an aquifer andgroundwater that is pumped out. This milestone wasreached primarily by expanding the capacity of the city’swater reclamation plant and improving the advancedwater treatment (AWT) plant, both located at the ScottsdaleWater Campus. These enhancements allowed thecity to produce a greater volume of reclaimed water forrecharge, thereby reducing the city’s reliance on groundwater.The second water reuse milestone was the completion ofa Water Quality Improvement Study as a first step towardsalinity reduction in reclaimed water used for turf irrigationon 23.5 golf courses in Scottsdale. The increasinglevels of total dissolved solids (TDS) and sodium inreclaimed water have been a cause of concern for golfcourses in Scottsdale that use reclaimed water instead ofgroundwater for irrigation. The study was a collaborativeeffort between the city and golf course owners. The studyrecommended incorporating Scottsdale’s existing treatmenttechnologies at its AWT facility to reduce the TDSand sodium levels in the reclaimed water. The enhancementsto the Water Campus, being implemented to reach“safe yield,” allowed the city to institute the Water QualityImprovement Study. These two projects are proof ofScottsdale’s commitment to maintain the long-term sustainabilityof its water resources for its citizens.Redwood City Recycled Water Project (Redwood City,CA)Nominated by: Anita Jain, Whitley Burchett & AssociatesRedwood City, a community of 76,000 located 25 milessouth of San Francisco, CA, receives 100% of its watersupply from the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System.Since 1998, Redwood City has been exceeding its contractualwater supply limit. After much planning, the firstgallons of recycled water began flowing to commercialcustomers in 2007. Redwood City’s Recycled Water Projectis expected to save approximately 900 acre-feet(about 300 million gallons) of drinking water annuallyby meeting significant irrigation and industrial demandwith recycled water by 2010. The project will help RedwoodCity meet its long-term water supply needs whileincreasing its overall supply reliability.Redwood City first began using recycled water on a trialbasis in 2000 with the South Bayside System Authoritywastewater treatment plant (SBSA) to deliver water tolimited area of Redwood Shores for landscape irrigationin areas such as median strips, and in common landscapedareas around some public and privately-ownedbuildings. After two successful years, the City Councilbegan planning for the development of a large-scale recycledwater system to address not only the currentover-use of the limited water supply, but the likelihood ofsevere water shortages in coming years.After a great deal of community-involved deliberation,the City Council approved an agreement with SBSA forthe large-scale production and delivery of recycled water,and moved forward with the final design of new treatmentfacili-ties at SBSA. The city also began design of anexpanded recycled water distribution system thatincludes Redwood Shores, the “Greater Bayfront Area,”and many sites in the Seaport Area where the water willbe used to irrigate commercial landscapes and for a varietyof industrial purposes.Today, the system is providing water to its first customers,and is designed with the flexibil-ity to accommodate newopportunities and new customers. In the event of adrought, the recycled water will be even more importantto the community of Redwood City, both for today andfor the generations to come. By reusing treated water, thecity greatly reduces the amount of non-salt water thatSBSA will discharge to the San Francisco Bay, which is9

WATER REUSE &DESALINATIONBRIGHT AS THE FLORIDA SUNhighly sensitive to the discharge of any fresh water —even clean or highly-treated wastewater. This is a significantenvironmental benefit of using recycled water.WateReuse Project of the Year – SmallCharlotte Correctional Institute (Charlotte, FL)Nominated by: Florida Water Environment Association’sWater Reuse CommitteeThe Charlotte Correctional Institute (CCI) is a prisonfacility with onsite potable water and wastewater treatmentfacilities. The wastewater treatment plant has acapacity of 0.250 mgd. Prior to implementing a reusesystem, the CCI utilized two percolation ponds for wastewatermanagement. Since the CCI began using reclaimedwater for the institutional laundry and flushing of allprison toilets, the potable water usage has been reducedfrom 200,000–250,000 gallons per day (gpd) to approximately100,000 gpd. For the year 2006, the average dailyflow of reclaimed water flow was 208,000 gpd, with135,000 gpd going to reuse in the prison and 73,000 gpddirected to the percolation ponds. The percolation pondsare now used only for back-up to the reuse system. TheCCI has the ability to supplement the reclaimed waterstorage tank with potable water in the event thatreclaimed water flow or quality is not satisfactory. Allappropriate cross connectional control devices are presentfor the supplemental supply and all piping is colorcoded to prevent cross connections.Reclaimed water quality is excellent with turbidity averagingless than 1 NTU and TSS averaging less than 1mg/L. The CCI is in compliance with all Florida Departmentof Environmental Protection (FDEP) requirementsand has been the recipient of an Operation and MaintenanceExcellence Award from the FDEP for the past threeyears.WateReuse Project of the Year –DesalinationNorth Alamo Water Supply Corp., Brownsville PublicUtilities Board, NRS Consulting Engineers (SouthTexas)Nominated by: Linda Fernandez, Fernandez Group, Inc.In arid South Texas, every drop counts. Rainfall averagesaround 20 inches per year or less along the middle andlower reaches of the Rio Grande, which is the primarysource of water for all uses in the region. But suppliesfrom the river and its reservoirs are declining while populationin the region is projected to soar. Empowered bya new water planning process and motivated by the needto find alternative sources to the Rio Grande, forwardlookinglocal entities in South Texas turned todesalination. Major water projects designed and managedby NRS Consulting Engineers are using brackish groundwaterand seawater as new sources of municipal andindustrial supplies.North Alamo Water Supply Corporation (NAWSC) is thelargest water supplier in Texas, covering 973 square milesof territory. NAWSC, assisted by NRS, has launched anambitious program to construct a network of reverseosmosis (RO) plants to serve rural populations. Theseregional RO facilities are treating brackish groundwateras an alternative to purchasing, pumping, and treatingmore costly surface water supplies from the Rio Grande.The La Sara Treatment Plant was the first to come onlinein January 2005. It is producing 1 mgd of drinking waterand its capacity can be doubled as the region grows. Alsounder construction are two more brackish desalinationplants, which together will produce 3.5 mgd. In addition,NAWSC is a primary partner in the North CameronRegional Water Authority, created to develop brackishgroundwater supplies for areas not previously served by aconventional treatment plant. The Authority has constructedan RO plant that is producing 2.6 mgd ofdrinking water from brackish groundwater. The facilitycan be expanded to 5.2 mgd.Regional successes with brackish groundwater desalinationcoupled with improved membrane technologies atlower costs set the stage for yet further innovation: seawaterdesalination to ensure uninterruptible supplies,even under extensive drought conditions. The Lower RioGrande Regional Seawater Desalination Project, nowbeing piloted for the Brownsville Public Utilities Board, isthe first of its kind in Texas. Brownsville, at the southernmostreach of the Rio Grande, was selected for the pilotfollowing several years of evaluation and feasibility analysesof potential sites on the Texas Gulf Coast conductedunder the auspices of the Texas Water Development10

Board. The results will be incorporated into final plantdesign, with construction anticipated in late 2009 andstart-up in late 2010. The plant will be sized to eventuallyproduce up to 25 million gallons of water per day,enough to satisfy one-third of the total municipaldemand projected for the greater Brownsville area.WateReuse Public Education Programsof the YearRecovered/Reclaimed Water Program to Offset PotableWater Demand and Protect Human Health (El Paso, TX)Nominated by: Irazema S. Rojas, P.E., El Paso Water UtilitiesThe Paso del Norte Water Task Force (El Paso, TX), ElPaso Water Utilities (El Paso, TX), and the City of JuarezWater Utility (Juárez, Mexico) collaborated to create acommunity-wide educational campaign that effectivelypromoted the benefits of using reclaimed water, whileaddressing possible health issues associated with itsimproper use. The two water agencies involved preparedprinted and audio/visual material targeting both childrenand adults that explained the approved uses of reclaimedwater and discussed human ingestion prevention.Infomercials produced in English and Spanish aired forone to three months on local channels. Water experts visitedschools and industries in Mexico to better explainthe benefits and uses of reclaimed water.The El Paso Water Utilities team developed a bilingualbrochure for adults and a video and workbook for youngchildren. The City of Juarez team developed similarmaterial. The public information campaign was a greatsuccess not only in the City of El Paso but also in theCity of Juarez, Mexico. Feedback provided by the teacherswas very positive, and efforts are underway to continueto utilize the materials developed at an educational centerthat El Paso Water Utilities is currently developing.The campaign also allowed for joint collaborationbetween the two utilities which clearly share waterresources and an audience.Santa Clara Valley Water District’s WaterAwareness/Recycling Outreach Program (San Jose, CA)Nominated by: Hossein Ashktorab, Ph.D., Santa ClaraValley Water DistrictThe Santa Clara Valley Water District Water Awareness &Water Recycling Outreach Program strives to educate thepublic of all ages in the value of water and water recycling.The district partners with schools in Santa ClaraCounty to promote the value of water. Since its inceptionin 1995 the program has reached more than 240,500 studentsand in the school year 2006–2007, the outreachprogram reached 21,627 students in Santa Clara County.The outreach program also has educated thousands ofresidents with its public workshops on the uses and benefitsof water recycling. This has created a very successfuloutreach program due in large part to the synergybetween the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the schoolsin Santa Clara County and the WateReuse Association(from which the district ordered 10,000 copies of its children’sworkbook entitled Give water a secondchance…Re-cycle it!.The program’s success is evidence by the 99% satisfactionrating received from the teachers and students surveyed.Also, the children in the program found the educationalsessions fun and informative which is crucial as theinformation is more readily retained and remembered bythem. The program also strives to reach the parentsthrough take home information which the kids can sharewith parents further promoting water recycling andwater conservation.WateReuse Customer of the YearHotel Sofitel (Redwood City, CA)Nominated by: Anita Jain, Whitley, Burchett & AssociatesA customer of the Redwood City Recycled Water Project,Hotel Sofitel’s Bay Area facility is located in the RedwoodShores area of Redwood City. The Sofitel Hotels are partof an international network of luxury hotels and enjoys areputation of high quality customer service and satisfaction.When Redwood City approached the hotel with theopportunity to replace potable water with recycled waterfor landscape irrigation and possibly retrofitting thecooling tower to use recycled water, the hotel proposedadditional onsite applications that could be converted.The hotel inquired about using recycled water in toiletsand urinals in their main lobby restrooms, commercialwashing machines, dishwashers, and a swimming pool.At the hotel’s request, the city agreed to pursue StateHealth Department approval for these applications.11

WATER REUSE &DESALINATIONBRIGHT AS THE FLORIDA SUNIn 2005, the Hotel used about 18.5 million gallons ofwater, with a daily average of just over 50,000 gallons perday (gpd). Although toilet and urinal flushing are acceptableapplications of recycled water under California Codeof Regulations Title 22 Water Recycling Criteria, the citywas initially only approved to distribute recycled waterfor landscape irrigation prior to preparation of an engineeringreport. However, even before the use wasapproved for the project, the hotel went ahead andinstalled dual plumbing of the main lobby restroomswhile upgrading the restrooms and adjacent banquetfacilities.Hotel Sofitel is deserving of the title “Customer of theYear” because of its proactive approach in expanding thesafe use of recycled water beyond the common uses.Although in the end the health department did notapprove the use of recycled water in the hotel swimmingpool and commercial dishwasher, the hotel’s requestchallenged regulators to consider new applications thatmay appear in the future. With four approved recycledwater applications, the hotel has more onsite uses thanany other Redwood City customers.WateReuse Person of the YearAndrew Salveson, P.E., Project Manager, Carollo Engineers(Walnut Creek, CA)Nominated by: Patrick Bollman, P.E., AquionicsAndrew Salveson’s contributions to the water reuseindustry have often come in the form of research. He hasserved as the principal investigator on multipleWateReuse Foundation research projects focusing ontreatment technologies. He also has worked on variousdisinfection planning and design projects and has performednumerous full-scale and pilot-scale performanceevaluations of disinfection systems. Mr. Salveson’sresearch has included performing virus, bacteria, andhydraulic testing in accordance with the National WaterResearch Institute (NWRI)/Awwa Research Foundation(AwwaRF) UV guidelines. All projects have included regulatoryinteraction for the permitting of the facility andfor the permitting of the technology with the CaliforniaDepartment of Health.Mr. Salveson’s cutting edge work has often pushed theboundaries. For example, though the NWRI Guidelinescall for flow velocity profiling and comparison foraccepting full scale designs, Mr. Salveson’s data collectionand testing allowed him to develop an alternative calledCheckpoint Biossay, which has gained acceptance amongregulators and the water industry. The Checkpoint Bioassayis practical, cost-effective, far superior to flow velocityprofiling, and helps protect public health through properequipment implementation at each site.Mr. Salveson is well respected and highly regarded for hisunderstanding of the importance of water reuse and theregulations that drive its importance. He is used by majorUV manufacturers in conducting validations for reuseand especially in meeting the NWRI Guidelines. Thoughhis work with UV occupies a majority of his investigations,he has spent time exploring other areas ofdisinfection including pasteurization and ozonation.Recent findings have suggested that the combination ofmultiple disinfectants and chemicals improves overalldisinfection performance.WateReuse Person of the YearLauren Walker-Coleman, Water Reuse Specialist,Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Tallahassee,FL)Nominated by: Florida Water Environment Association’sWater Reuse CommitteeLauren Walker-Coleman has served Florida as a WaterReuse Specialist for over eight years. She has been aprime contributor to Florida’s award-winning WaterReuse Program (accolades include WateReuse Institutionof the Year and EPA’s 2006 Water Efficiency LeaderAward). She makes numerous presentations and hasauthored numerous technical papers dealing with a widerange of subjects related to water reuse. Ms. Walker-Colemanmanages and produces DEP’s annual reuseinventory and was a contributor to the development ofthe WateReuse Association’s National Databse of WaterReuse Facilities. She also manages DEP’s Pathogen MonitoringDatabase and the Pathogen Monitoring Program.She has served on advisory committees for severalWateReuse Foundation research projects and has managedseveral DEP-funded research projects dealing withpathogen issues.Ms. Walker-Coleman is an effective member of Florida’sReuse Coordinating Committee and has participated inseveral rulemaking activities associated with water reuse.12

Currently, she is coordinating efforts to refine Florida’sreuse rules in Chapter 62-610, F.A.C. She also coordinatesan ongoing project to update, expand, and refineFlorida’s Guidelines for Preparation of Reuse FeasibilityStudies. Ms. Walker-Coleman works tirelessly to encourageand promote water reuse in Florida and beyond.WateReuse Awards of MeritCity of West Palm Beach – East Central Regional WaterReclamation Facility (West Palm Beach, FL)Nominated by: Florida Water Environment Association’sWater Reuse CommitteeTo make the best use of a limited resource, the City ofWest Palm Beach has implemented a project that is capturingthe interest of water experts across the nation: theWetlands-Based Water Reclamation Program. This programuses highly treated reclaimed water to restorewetlands, augment local water resources, and reduce theamount of effluent disposed via deep-well injection. TheWetlands-Based Water Reclamation Program involvesadvanced water treatment at the East Central RegionalWater Reclamation Facility (ECRWRF), the wetlandsreuses site, and the wellfield site. The city is usingreclaimed water to hydrate natural wetlands and providerecharge at its supplemental wellfield site.The ECRWRF provides advanced wastewater treatmentof up to 10 mgd of secondary effluent. The facilityreduces suspended solids and removes nitrogen andphosphorus, followed by high-level disinfection. Thehighly treated water is applied to 1,485 acres of naturalwetlands. Water flows through the wetlands where it isfiltered and treated to an even greater extent, and at thesame time enhances and restores the wetland habitat.The South Florida Water Management District uses thisproject as an example to other water suppliers in theregion on how to develop alternative water supplies.of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to irrigate cropsproduced for human consumption with reclaimed water.The City of Orlando and Orange County are the jointowners of Water Conserv II.Water Conserv II took a liability (effluent) and turned itinto an asset (reclaimed water). The citrus growers seeprofits from irrigation with reclaimed water. Their cropyields have increased, trees have grown quicker, and in afreeze, their protection capabilities are enhanced. TheRIBs are used for recharge of the Floridan aquifer,Florida’s primary source of drinking water. Water ConservII reduces withdrawal of precious water from theFloridan aquifer for irrigation purposes and acceleratesrecharge of the Floridan aquifer for potable water purposesthrough the use of its rapid infiltration basinsystem.The project provides a dependable source of reclaimedwater for the irrigation of citrus groves, foliage and landscapenurseries, tree farms, horse and cattle pastures,residential lawns, willow trees for animal food for WaltDisney World’s Animal Kingdom, three golf courses, theproduction of soil cement, and sand mining. Reclaimedwater use for the year 2006 was as follows: 48.6% (13.90mgd) of the total flow was used for public access irrigationand the remaining 51.4% (14.73 mgd) was sent tothe RIBs for recharge of the Floridan aquifer.Water Conserv II has operated since 1986 and is aproven, beneficial, and cost effective year-roundreclaimed water project. During 2006, Water Conserv IIreduced aquifer withdrawal by 5.1 billion gallons by providingreclaimed water for irrigation purposes. TheFloridan aquifer was also recharged with 5.4 billion gallonsof reclaimed water through the RIBs. Water ConservII also has established a preserve for endangered andthreatened species of plants and animals on expansionproperties and properties used for RIB sites.Water Conserv II (Winter Garden, FL)Nominated by: Florida Water Environment Association’sWater Reuse CommitteeWater Conserv II is the largest water reuse project of itskind in the world, a combination of agricultural irrigationand rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). It is also thefirst reuse project permitted by the Florida Department13

Sunday Schedule of Events9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Registration (Grand BallroomRegistration)1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Concurrent Technical SessionsS-1: Desalination—Membrane Treatment Technologies(Salons G&H)Desalination technology provides a robust barrier for awide variety of contaminants. This session describes theuse of desalination technology for a range of raw watersources, qualities and finished water uses. Novel configurationsfor liquid treatment and residuals treatment anddisposal are presented. The liquid processes includereverse osmosis, EDR, and low temperature solar desalinationprocesses. Residual treatment includes a variety ofphysical/chemical processes to reduce the volume for disposal.The session includes descriptions of planning,testing, design and operation of full scale systems.S-2: Water Quality Issues (Salon F)More water systems are turning to alternate water supplysources, such as reclaimed and desalination. These newsources confront the water provider with complex waterquality challenges in ensuring the water being deliveredto its users meets all federal, state and local regulations.This session presents a variety of new approaches beingused or considered by water suppliers for testing, treatingand distributing safe water to its customers. New analyticaltesting methods, water distribution and wastewatertreatment process and other approaches are explored.❖ Simplified testing protocols for evaluating groundwater recharge systems❖ Issues with combined drinking water and fireprotection systems❖ Operational treatment changes improve consistencyof the quality of residential irrigation reclaimedwater❖ Accurately measuring pharmaceuticals, endocrinedisruptors and personal care products in drinkingwater and wastewater systems❖ Providing reclaimed water to end users who havediffering water quality requirements❖ Cost effectiveness of static disk filtration in lieu oftraditional sand filtration❖ New analytical methodologies to test ozone andultraviolet advanced oxidation processesS-3: Public Education and Perception Issues (Rooms 8–10)The role and importance of communicating clearly aboutrecycled water is often the key to successful projectimplementation. Learn more as presenters discuss a varietyof situations including the challenges of constructinga recycled water facility in a quiet rural neighborhood;some helpful hints on how to respond to media inquiriesin a forthright and understandable way that puts risks inperspective; how to create a communication program toenhance the understanding of this sometimes complexissue by recognizing the impact of negative terminologyon clear communication; what can be learned from conductingmarket research that will help preventcontroversy; and how planning ahead for communicationcan help you talk about recycled water.S-4: Cross-Connection/Distribution/Operations (Salons I&J)There’s more to reclaimed water systems than treatmentplants, treatment technologies, and water quality. Behindany successful reclaimed water program is a satisfied customerbase and a distribution system that maintains thequality of the water it provides. Within this session, onewill learn some of the challenges and opportunities thatcome with planning and managing reclaimed water distributionsystems, maintaining and meeting end usersatisfaction, and most importantly, keeping reclaimedsystems separate from potable supplies (cross-connectioncontrol).2:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Refreshment Break (GrandBallroom Lobby)5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Welcome Reception withExhibitors (Salons A–E)23

MayorPam Iorio of Tampa will welcome Symposium attendeesto the city. She will be followed by Congressman BillYoung (R-FL) who represents Pinellas County in theCongress. Congressman Young is a member of the HouseAppropriations Committee. He is very knowledgeableregarding water issues and has been a long-time supporterof WateReuse.The Symposium’s opening session will also include presentationsby Adam Zabinski, President-Elect of theWater Environment Federation (WEF) and LuisAquiaran, Vice President of the American Water WorksAssociation (AWWA). AWWA and WEF partner withWateReuse in the planning and convening of theWateReuse Symposium.The opening session will be moderated by Pick Talley,President of the WateReuse Association and Director ofPinellas County Utilities.9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Refreshment Break withExhibitors (Salons A–E)10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Concurrent Technical SessionsA-1: Tampa Bay Water Desalination Project —A Panel Discussion(Salons G&H)This session will cover the past, present, and future of thehistoric Tampa Bay Water Desalination Project. The firstpresenter will be Christine Owen with Tampa Bay Watergiving us an overview of TBW’s history, as it pertains tothis well-known project.Next we will hear from Andrew Shea with Acciona Aqua,discussing implementation of the project. Since the releaseof the DBO and piloting contract in 2004 and the full constructioncontract in 2005, the American Water/AccionaAqua partnership has been remediating the 25 mgd TampaBay Desalination facility. Andy will present the progressionof the piloting performed for the remediation, the resultingdesign modifications for the pretreatment system and requisitefacility upgrades. He will also provide a look atstart-up issues and the close involvement of the public andprivate sector in bringing the largest seawater desalinationplant in the United States back online.Neil Callahan with RW Beck will then cover the public-privatecontracting approach taken to address the plant’soriginal performance issues, consider some of the key featuresof the Alternative Delivery method developed for theproject, discuss the Service Agreement’s elegant solutionfor transfer of “As-Is” risk, discuss aspects of the project’sP3 performance and present some project highlights.Ken Heard with Tampa Bay Water will close the presentationportion of our session with a summary of the plant’s currentstatus and a look at the future of desalination for TBW.The second half of the session will be open Q&A with thepanelists discussing the project between themselves, as wellas open questions regarding any aspect from the audience.B-1: Membrane Issues and Applications Rooms 8–10)This session will include discussions of Membrane Bioreactors(MBRs), Forward Osmosis, and the general use ofmembranes in reclaimed water systems. MBR with submergedmembrane modules have set the standard for thenext generation of biological wastewater treatment plantsas they offer two main advantages: a significantlyimproved effluent quality and a substantially smallerfootprint. The MBR Technology for Wastewater Reclamationin Rural Areas presentation will discuss how MBRsystems are helping small communities reduce the risk ofenvironmental and public health issues related to dischargefrom septic systems. MBR systems are appropriatefor many rural areas because they require minimal supervision,can be designed to blend into the landscape, andprovide high quality effluent for recycling.The results of ongoing research to obtain a better understandingof biofouling in MBRs and methods to controlfouling to improve the economics of water recycling willpresented in Use of Molecular Methods to Monitor Biofoulingin MBRs for Water Recycling. The conclusions thus far fromthe pilot study are that soluble microbial products and24

Monday Schedule of Events (Continued)extracellular polymeric substances are very important relativeto biofouling in MBRs and that several tools, includingmolecular methods, are useful to examine biofoulingtrends. Future results collected under different operatingconditions will allow correlations between fouling rates,bacterial species, and environmental/growth conditions.The third presentation, Forward Osmosis: Novel Applicationsfor Wastewater Reclamation and Desalination, offersinsight into how forward osmosis (FO) can be employedin many fields of science and engineering including waterand wastewater treatment, seawater/brackish water desalination,food processing, drug delivery, and electric powerproduction. FO uses osmotic pressure differential across amembrane, rather than hydraulic pressure differential (asin RO), as the driving force for transport of waterthrough a selectively permeable membrane.In response to drought and population increase, the AustralianState of Queensland is implementing a holisticprogram to provide sufficient drinking water supplies inthe future. The Queensland Story: Reclaimed Water withMF/UF and RO primarily focuses on the membranebasedAdvanced Water Treatment Plants (AWTPs), whichwill reclaim 182–252 ML/d (48–67 US MGD) of waterfrom municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)effluent for beneficial reuse. There will also be some discussionof the overall program of emergency waterprojects, including a public outreach program.C-1: Financing Water Reuse Systems (Salon F)This session, Financing Water Reuse Systems, will offer participantsthe opportunity to gain knowledge of importantand practical information related to developing and settingrates for reclaimed water systems, including helpfuldiscussions of the myriad factors that influence the cost ofreclaimed water. Four papers will be presented covering abroad range of issues facing utilities that may be lookingat implementing a new reclaimed water system, as well asthose issues being confronted by mature reclaimed waterutilities. One paper summarizes a WateReuse Foundationproject that developed a model to evaluate pricing levelsand structures for reclaimed water systems, and alsoincludes an interesting discussion of both financial andnon-financial considerations for these systems. Anotherpaper discusses how community goals and values relatedto its water resources have shaped the rationale for settingrates, and how and why each community is truly uniquein the rate-setting process. Participants will also learnabout the practical side of sizing reclaimed water storagesystems when accounting for diurnal and seasonal flowpatterns, and how this single component can influence theviability of the reclaimed water system itself. Finally, participantswill learn about creative funding opportunitiesfor small, economically disadvantaged communities.D-1: Reuse for Wetlands Enhancement and Recharge(Salons I&J)Many communities have discovered that reclaimed watercan provide significant benefits to enhance natural systemsand provide environmental and recreational benefitsto their area. In addition to environmental improvements,these wetlands projects can often provide watersupply benefits by recharging local aquifers. This sessionexplores several examples of such multi-benefit projects,including initial community concerns and ultimateappreciation of these enhanced natural systems.12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Awards Luncheon and AnnualMembership Meeting (TampaConvention Center, Ballrooms A&B)The Awards Program recognizes excellent water reuse,reclamation, and recycling projects and practitioners. TheWateReuse Association will identify projects that advancereuse, have a new reclamation twist, or have made significantcontributions to water reuse. The following awardswill be presented during the luncheon on Monday:❖ 2007 WateReuse Project of the Year (Large, Small,and Desalination)❖ 2007 WateReuse Public Education Program of the Year❖ 2007 WateReuse Person of the Year❖ 2007 WateReuse Customer of the Year❖ 2007 WateReuse Award of MeritThe WateReuse Association will also conduct its annualmembership meeting during this luncheon.1:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Water Reclamation Facility Tour(Departing from Hotel Lobby)1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Tampa Bay SeawaterDesalination Plant Tour(Departing from Hotel Lobby)25

WATER REUSE &DESALINATIONBRIGHT AS THE FLORIDA SUNMonday Schedule of Events (Continued)2:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Concurrent Technical SessionsA-2: Seawater Desalination (Rooms 8–10)At this session knowledgeable speakers will be presentingresearch on the feasibility, benefits, technology, and treatmentmethods of ocean-water desalination as well as the implementationof their methodology. Speakers will report on theeconomic feasibility of co-locating treatment facilities withelectrical power plants, regulatory obstacles, environmentaland aquatic ecology concerns related to discharge, reliability,sustainability, political support, and social acceptance.B-2: Disinfection (Salons I&J)One of the emerging issues that faces the water reuseindustry is the determination of an effective and economicmethod to disinfect reclaimed and recycled waters.This session explores a variety of techniques andapproaches to provide a high level of disinfection whilemeeting the limits of Disinfection By Products in thetreated waters. This session uses operational experiences,case studies and research approaches to explore a varietyof disinfection alternatives including Chlorine Dioxide,Hydrogen Peroxide, Ozone and Ultraviolet used individuallyor used in various combinations. Additionally, thissession presents disinfection alternatives and techniquesfor the proper treatment and detection of microconstituents.The complexity of this subject is furtherappreciated using a customized approach that is based onthe premise that a single disinfection methodology is veryrarely applicable. This session also addresses the need foruser flexibility of multiple effluent qualities and uses froma water reuse facility and the corresponding challenge ofthe decision process for disinfection.C-2: Health Effects (Salons G&H)The first, last, and biggest concern of the public withreclaimed water is: “Is it safe?” What are the health risksand health effects? More and more, the public is apprehensiveabout the presence and effects of endocrine disruptingcompounds, pharmaceuticals and now, nanomaterials inreclaimed water. This session covers several key concerns:what compounds cause concern, lab detection at extremelylow levels, methods for screening health risks, and translatinghealth concerns and risks into projects.D-2: Reuse and the Environment (Salon F)Controversial is the best word to describe the perception ofthe relationship between water reuse and the environment.In this session, you will hear about benefits and detrimentsto the environment as a result of implementing waterreuse. From these topics, attendees will gain useful informationabout environmental challenges, impacts, andbenefits to consider with regard to the practice of waterreuse, and will learn what measures have been taken toincrease the benefits and mitigate environmental risk associatedwith water reuse. Related subjects include sourcewater protection, maintenance of groundwater quality,wetlands issues, treatment considerations, master planning,and surface and ground water augmentation.3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Refreshment Break withExhibitors (Salons A–E)6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. President’s Reception atthe Florida AquariumPlease join us Monday night for the President’s Reception atthe Florida Aquarium and see why it’s among the topaquariums in the world.

Long term perspectiveson water scarcity must be understood and validated inorder to gain the public’s support for reuse. These perspectivesmust be accompanied by a well-orchestratedbranding and acceptance of reuse, portraying risks andbenefits clearly. And, finally, the real costs of reuse mustbe understood. This is where it gets complicated due tothe intangible and often intrinsic value of reuse in oursociety. This Session has it all… the impact of climatechange on future water supplies, branding strategies andthe cost or reuse.B-3: Research on Innovative Treatment Technologies (Salon F)The goal of the WateReuse Foundation project WRF-02-009, Innovative Treatment Technologies for ReclaimedWater, is to measure the pathogen and pollutant destructionability of conventional and emerging technologies.The preliminary results of this project indicate that thereare market ready technologies that provide pathogen andpollutant destruction at a relatively low cost. This sessionis a three-part presentation of cutting edge researchresults from WRF-02-009, including bench top analysisand pilot analysis. Technologies to be discussed includeUV, UV/H2O2, peracetic acid (PAA), PAA/UV, Ozone,Ozone/ H2O2, chlorine, and TiO2/UV.C-3: Agricultural Use of Reclaimed Water (Rooms 8–10)This session will present three papers on the subject ofAgricultural Use of Reclaimed Water. There are two presentationson the Monterey County water reclamationprogram. The first will present the findings of a six yearstudy to measure the effects of using reclaimed water oncrop production and soils in this important agriculturalarea. There will also be a presentation of the MontereyCrisis Management Plan which was developed to provide aframework for dealing with a wide range of crisis that mayarise. The discussion will focus on safety related crisis andthe response to the recent E. coli outbreak associated withspinach will be used as an example. The third presentationwill chronicle the development of an agricultural reuseprogram in Gilroy California including end user concernsand design features of the final program.D-3: National Legislative Outlook Forum (Salons G&H)Moderated by Richard Atwater, First Vice President of theWateReuse Association and CEO/General Manager of theInland Empire Utilities Agency, this session will focus onthe need and prospects for national and state legislationrelated to water reuse and desalination. Confirmed panelistsinclude Roseann Gonzales of the U.S. Bureau ofReclamation, Mimi Drew of the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection, and Michael O’Neal of the U.S.Department of Agriculture. Invited panelists include SteveLanich of the House Committee on Natural Resources.9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Refreshment Break withExhibitors (Salons A–E)10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Concurrent Technical SessionsA-4: Groundwater Desalting (Rooms 8–10)When the general public thinks of desalting for watersupply, they typically think of seawater desalination onthe coasts. Admittedly, more and more states and agenciesare looking to the ocean as a future component of theirwater portfolio but many more are looking at a resourcemuch closer to their customers: brackish groundwater.There are many more existing and planned brackishgroundwater desalting facilities than there are seawaterfacilities. These facilities, many of which are in the aridsouthwest, bring different challenges particularly in theareas of process selection and in concentrate management/disposal.In this session, you will hear about severalgroundwater desalting projects in different stages ofdevelopment. Unique approaches to treatment using bothmembrane and ion exchange processes will be presentedas will alternative methods for concentrate management.In addition to the three specific projects, you will hearfrom the Bureau of Reclamation on the status of theresearch that they are doing to advance the science ofbrackish water desalting technologies and to reduce the28

Tuesday Schedule of Events (Continued)costs of disposing of the resulting concentrate stream.B-4: Membranes: Selection and Performance (Salons I&J)The state-of-the-art in advanced wastewater treatmentinvolves the growing trend of membrane applications toproduce high quality water required for successful reuseprograms, beneficial reuse applications, high-purityindustrial applications, or aquifer recharge projects.Microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), or reverseosmosis (RO) membranes are essential in reducing contaminants,total dissolved solids, and microconstiuentsrequired by current and anticipated future regulations.Industry experts will present the latest research, pilotprograms, and projects including side-by-side comparisonsof membrane manufacturers, membrane processes,and the use of membranes versus conventional activatedsludge with media filtration processes. The advantages,disadvantages, and associated costs with membranes usedfor reuse applications shall be included in this session.C-4: Planning for Water Reuse (Salon F)Water and wastewater agencies must coordinate and planwisely to stay ahead of the growth curve in the complex andvolatile environment that has unfolded in this new century.Utilities as well as regulatory agencies can no longer considerthemselves separate and independent entities, asfinancial, regulatory, policy, environmental and societalissues have converged to place demands on each thatcannot be overcome alone.The papers presented in the Planning for Water Reusesession highlight the innovative approaches utilities,engineers, water regulators and planners have/must taketo; meet the demands of growing regions, reduce impactsof droughts, offset potable water demands, while ensuringwastewater disposal capacity and minimizing theimposition of more stringent discharge requirements.Presenters look beyond single sided economics and conventionaltechnologies to investigate opportunities forthe creation of integrated and sustainable alternativewater resource supplies.D-4: Regulatory Forum (Salons G&H)This is your opportunity to learn, share, and debate regulatoryissues that affect projects across the nation andaround the world. The Regulatory Forum will includebrief updates from states and nations in attendance coveringrulemaking activities, issues faced, andaccomplishments. In addition, there will be open discussionof regulatory issues, such as microconstituents,nutrients, health issues, public acceptance, indirectpotable reuse, rulemaking issues, water quality, permittingissues, disinfection, national/internationalconsistency, and other regulatory issues. This session willbe moderated by Jo Ann Jackson from PBS&J and speakersinclude Valerie Rourke, Water Programs Managerwith the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Lunch on Your Own12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Potable Reuse CommitteeMeeting (Room 12)12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Public Education & OutreachCommittee Meeting (Room 11)12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Membership CommitteeMeeting (Room 13)1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Tampa Bay SeawaterDesalination Plant Tour(Departing from Hotel Lobby)1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Concurrent Technical SessionsA-5: Desalination — Concentrate/Brine Management (Rooms8–10)Desalination to provide new water supply is one of thefastest growing market sectors in water treatment.Although both major desalination processes, thermal andmembrane, are currently in wide use, membrane desalinationhas overtaken thermal processes during the lastdecade, due primarily to the unique features that membranesprovide. Membrane desalination is based onReverse Osmosis (RO) technology, which utilizes osmosisphenomena to retain salts in highly concentrated solution.In the RO process, the brine or so calledconcentrate or reject needs to be disposed of and/ormanaged. In most projects success depends on solvingconcentrate/brine management problems.The presentations in this session provide state-of-the-artinformation on the status of concentrate/brine managementfor different types of desalination projects;potential ways and directions for implementing differentsolutions; results of R&D work; ways to reduce the volumeof concentrate/brine; how to approach the tasks,29

WATER REUSE &DESALINATIONBRIGHT AS THE FLORIDA SUNTuesday Schedule of Events (Continued)case studies and lessons learned from the representativeprojects. The presentations provide information on concentratemanagement projects based on local, Floridaexpertise gained from real projects as well as research onconcentrate/brine minimization studies, which are veryimportant for the inland states, particularly where theoptions for concentrate/brine management are limitedcompared to the coastal states.Information presented in this session may help engineers,utilities, regulators, government, and private sectorrepresentatives better understand issues associated withconcentrate/brine management and how to approachconcentrate/brine management, which is one of the mostimportant aspects of desalination projects.B-5: Groundwater Recharge and SAT (Salons I&J)This session will focus on groundwater interaction duringvarious reuse applications. Three presentations focus ongroundwater recharge applications: to help restore theEverglades and provide supplemental supplies in SouthFlorida; to provide water resource management in Gilbert,Arizona; and to assist with wastewater resource managementfor the LOTT Alliance in Washington State. Two ofthe papers in this session focus on recent studies pertainingto additional treatment derived from Soil AquiferTreatment (SAT), specifically for Bisphenol-A removal anda model that has been developed to better engineer thesesystems to remove microconstituents in the reuse waterbefore entering the groundwater regime. Finally, one paperpresents a unique conversion of deep injection wells toreclaimed water Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR) wells inPinellas County, Florida, which illustrates the shift in theindustry to view our highly treated wastewater as aresource rather than a liability. From storage to treatment,this session is sure to provide us with a better understandingof how we can use our groundwater systems to safelymanage our limited water resources.C-5: Urban Water Reuse (Salon F)From Sea to shining Sea—from New York and Tampa toLos Angeles and Silicon Valley, with Arizona and Texas inbetween—this session promises to deliver powerful evidencefor the technical viability and economic value ofwater reuse in urban settings. This is especially goodnews since most recycled water is generated and deliveredin urban areas.New York, with 48 inches of rainfall is using recycledwater for toilet flushing in high rise buildings and usinggray water in the Bronx Zoo. Arizona, with an extremelydry climate, stores the water in the ground for laterunlimited reuse, as does El Paso, TX.We can learn in Session C-5 thatA new recycled water network needs more frequent flushingto maintain chlorine residual until all customers areconnected and flow in the system is maximized. The STARproject in Tampa systematizes the process with models,monitoring, and a rigorous maintenance program.Moore’s Law (doubling of functions per silicon chipevery two years) is matched with water reuse in the electronicsindustry.Customer relations and public acceptance are especiallycritical for water reuse in urban settings. El Paso, TX andWhittier Narrows, Los Angeles County, CA provideexemplary cases.Water reuse can help green buildings achieve higher levelsof LEEDS certification, as demonstrated in New York.Salt management in the landscape while using recycledwater can be a critical component of success, as shown inthe El Paso case study.D-5: User Issues Forum: Use of Reclaimed Water at GolfCourses (Salons G&H)You won’t want to miss the Users Issues Forum this yearto hear the latest results from the Golf Course SuperintendentsAssociation of America (GCSAA) Survey onWater Use and Conservation and its importance toreclaimed water providers. Also GCSAA will report on aneducational booklet developed around the theme of recycledwater on golf course properties. The booklet focuseson the importance of recycled water constituents to turfgrowth and golf course management. Presentations onreuse water in Las Vegas, NV and Pebble Beach, CA willprovide field research data and treatment techniques tosuit local golf course needs. Join us at the User IssuesForum to exchange ideas and discuss these topics withgolf course superintendents and water reuse providers.5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. WEF/AWWA Water ReuseCommittee Meeting (Room 11)30
