Enhancing water supplies with wastewater resources.

Many communities must develop new safe, reliable, cost-effective water resources to meet increasing demand. While precipitation amounts may vary, the nation’s municipal wastewater generation rate is continuous, and its treatment is relatively well-controlled — making reclaimed water a viable alternative water source.

  • Best management practices (BMP) evaluation and development
  • Comprehensive land use planning, land cover input
  • Reuse utility and policy development
  • Development of reclamation recharge and blending methods
  • Hydraulic calculations / models

Our Approach

Malcolm Pirnie’s approach to reclaimed water management involves strategic thinking in the planning phase and the use of comprehensive decision-making tools to ensure that management solutions are cost-effective and watershed-based.

Because public education and community involvement are key elements to effective water reclamation and reuse, we build a partnership with you and the community. This often involves conducting detailed interviews to discuss quality and safety concerns with the end user — the community resident. We can work with you to develop and deliver presentations and materials that explain the many benefits of using a renewable water supply.  

The result is a solution that combines groundwater, surface water, and reclaimed water — tailored to the specific characteristics of the watershed and the water supply/demand environment.

Proven Experience
