In particular, our analysis of the results for the estimation sample relates to understanding the spatial element of heterogeneity trough the latent class model.…”

“…While the implementation and use of greywater reuse systems elsewhere is a key input for cities that want to integrate greywater reuse as part of their supply sources, the direct transfer of policies and regulations could lead to unsuccessful outcomes due to differences between areas (Ormerod et al, 2019). Indeed, as with any innovation, the extent to which practices of greywater reuse is transferable between cities is unclear (Wester and Broad, 2021).…”

“…The most valuable cross-disciplinary insights that these methodologies can bring to the field of water reuse is that they have highlighted that consumer preferences, and thus acceptability, a key element in the success of any policy, can be linked to different factors such as mental, physical and/or cultural associations (Hurlimann and Dolnicar, 2016;Mankad and Tapsuwan, 2011;Wester and Broad, 2021;Stithou et al, 2012), and can vary by geographic location (Ormerod et al, 2019;Beveridge et al, 2017;Budziński et al, 2018;Czajkowski et al, 2017).…”

“…While important qualitative research has been conducted (e.g., Morgan & Grant‐Smith, 2015; Scruggs et al, 2019; Stenekes et al, 2006; Wester & Broad, 2021), surveying has been a primary method used to understand public perceptions and acceptance of PWR. Surveys are preferred to community meetings as an initial step toward understanding public opinion because they allow residents to consider the survey's topic(s) at their own pace and in the privacy of their own homes (Daniels et al, 2007).…”

Understanding questions and concerns about potable water reuse: An analysis of survey write‐in responses

Urban centers around the world are grappling with the challenges associated with population increases, drought, and projected water shortages. Potable water reuse (i.e., purification of municipal wastewater for reuse as drinking water) is an option for supplementing existing water supplies. Public perception research on potable water reuse has predominantly employed surveys with multiple-choice questions that constrain survey respondents to describe their concerns by choosing from several response options. This research examines hundreds of write-in responses to a large public survey in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to provide a detailed analysis of residents' questions and concerns about potable water reuse. Findings demonstrate that allowing respondents to voice their actual concerns adds richness and nuance that cannot be obtained from multiple-choice response data alone. Especially with controversial resource considerations, such as potable water reuse, planners would benefit from a full understanding of the problem before engaging with the community.

“…The employment of high-quality treated wastewater for planned indirect potable reuse (IPR), by employing an environmental buffer as in the case of groundwater recharge or reservoir water augmentation, is already a current practice in many regions (e.g., NEWater Singapore, , Orange County Water District Groundwater Replenishment System (California), Upper Occoquan Service Authority (Virginia), Montebello Forebay Groundwater Recharge Project (Los Angeles, California), Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme (South East Queensland, Australia)). Summaries of several pilot or operational DPR and IPR systems are provided by Guo et al However, the direct introduction of high-quality treated effluent to a public water system or for raw water augmentation immediately upstream of a water treatment plant, as planned in DPR, requires additional considerations. − …”

Direct Potable Reuse: Are We Ready? A Review of Technological, Economic, and Environmental Considerations

Meeting future water demand will require serious consideration of direct potable reuse (DPR) for many water agencies. There has been tremendous progress in the technologies needed to address the concerns that conventional and novel water contaminants pose. Yet, to date, only a few relatively small DPR operations have been installed. As we get closer to the point where regulations are finalized and serious investments are planned, there is a need to ask: Are we ready? In this Review, we explore the technological, economic, and environmental considerations associated with DPR. In particular, we focus on the status of technologies for addressing the most challenging water pollutants, the cost estimates for DPR, and the energy demand and associated implications of DPR. We find that, although the technologies are nearly ready for DPR, the most critical issue will be real-time monitoring of a number of molecules that pose distinct challenges to advanced treatment trains. In addition, there is a need to consider emergency planning, both in terms of emergency buffer reservoir(s) and planning for situations in which the treated water does not meet specifications. Since any advanced treatment train will result in a significant increase in embedded energy, it will be particularly important to plan for renewable energy to minimize environmental impacts.
