Water Reuse
Creating fit-for-purpose water reuse treatment solutions
Across the globe, communities are turning to water reuse to provide clean, reliable water amid climate change and growing resource pressures.?At ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½, we integrate both potable and non-potable water reuse action plans into broader sustainability and climate resilience strategies through our One Water Cycle approach, which treats all water¡ªdrinking, wastewater, stormwater, and natural¡ªas a unified resource.
Water quality is shaped by a range of factors, including local ecology, geology, agriculture, industry, and urban runoff. Recognizing that each community has unique water needs, we deliver tailored, cost-effective treatment solutions using advanced technologies and decentralized systems.?
Stantec has played a pivotal role in some of the world¡¯s most complex potable reuse programs, including the first surface water augmentation project in San Diego. We¡¯re also advancing inland reuse through carbon-based treatment solutions, innovative brine management strategies, and tailored desalination, and water reuse solutions¡ªadvancing membrane technologies and guiding projects from feasibility to full-scale implementation. Through our North American Funding Program, we¡¯ve helped clients secure millions in grants and loans to bring these projects to life.
The goal is clear: deliver safe, reliable water to every utility customer. At ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½, we¡¯re transforming water reuse into a cornerstone of sustainable water management.
Engaging communities to build trust in water reuse
We integrate public outreach as a vital part of water reuse projects, using demonstration facilities, stakeholder engagement, and educational campaigns to build community trust and understanding. We¡¯ve helped clients communicate the science, safety, and benefits of water reuse through tours, workshops, and transparent messaging. By aligning technical ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ with community values, our team supports regulatory approval and long-term public acceptance of advanced treatment solutions.

From agriculture and industry to potable supply, the potential for water reuse spans nearly every sector. Safe and effective reuse requires robust regulatory frameworks¡ªand we¡¯re at the forefront of shaping them. With deep experience in developing potable reuse regulations and treatment guidelines, we actively contribute to national and regulatory policy development, making sure that advanced treatment systems consistently deliver a high-quality, fit-for-purpose water supply.

Stantec's industrial reuse services combine advanced water treatment design, reliability engineering, pilot testing, and strategies to reduce potable water demand by utilizing highly treated effluent for on-site applications. We help clients cut operational costs through water recovery, comply with regulations, reduce environmental impact, and maintain operational continuity with reliable systems. Extensive experienced delivering complex projects, we provide cost savings through reduced water purchasing and wastewater discharge fees. Learn MoreInnovative advanced water treatment solutions for a more resilient future
We craft smart, sustainable strategies for producing treated wastewater that¡¯s fit for any purpose, including drinking water. From early planning to full operation, we help communities tackle water scarcity and climate challenges. We¡¯re advancing direct potable reuse, developing new treatment technologies, and finding better ways to manage brine. We¡¯ve secured millions in funding for clients and built demonstration facilities across the US to test and prove new ideas. For us, sustainable water isn¡¯t just a goal¡ªit¡¯s a necessity.
