Arizona approves new rules for wastewater-to-drinking water
Arizona has taken another step forward in securing the future of water in the desert. New rules for turning wastewater into drinking water have been approved. The purification process is one that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality said more local utilities could adopt. An oversight council has just approved the new advanced water purification rules. ADEQ said the rules create a regulatory framework ensuring safe and reliable purification of wastewater for drinking. With the new steps, Arizona cities and water providers can apply for a permit to use advanced water purification. By doing that, ADEQ said it creates a crucial tool for managing water resources amid ongoing drought and increasing demand.
