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.
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
Malcolm Pirnie has worked closely with numerous municipalities, utilities and communities to encourage and facilitate the use of reclaimed water where appropriate. Here are a few highlights:
