Reuse takes many forms, including non-potable reuse (NPR), indirect potable reuse (IPR), or direct potable reuse (DPR). No matter the situation, Garver can assist clients with planning, permitting, feasibility studies, pilot testing, project funding acquisition, public outreach, design, and implementation. Our experts have extensive reuse knowledge and relationships with state regulators to get projects across the finish line, and help the public understand the importance and need for water reuse. Whether it’s purple pipe or direct-to-distribution DPR, we have the experts and full-service solutions to make water reuse projects a reality.
We conduct pilot testing to determine a treatment process’ effectiveness on a system before implementing improvements.
We coordinate and navigate permitting and regulatory requirements with state and federal agencies prior to construction to prevent schedule issues.
We work with utilities to determine their water resource goals and identify additional water supply opportunities to increase capacity.
Our team can help utilities develop a comprehensive communications plan for internal and external stakeholders based on state-of-the-industry methods that have been proven to work to gain public acceptance for reuse projects.
Our dedicated funding team helps clients identify funding opportunities and strategies and select the ones that align best with their project; in addition to assisting with the initial applications, the team can help with administering the funds and developing outlay reports.
Our experts have worked on every major DPR project in the United States and make sure all our reuse project designs incorporate the cumulative decades of institutional knowledge gained from those past projects.
