The Onsite Non-potable Water Reuse Practice Guide combines real world examples and step-by-step design, construction and technical information needed for water use systems of all types and sizes at the building and district scale. The Guide is available free of charge in order to advance the design practice and policy of water conservation, efficiency, and reuse.

To develop this objective, credible, and readily understandable resource, the Worthen Foundation formed and facilitated an all-volunteer Working Group of subject matter and industry experts. The Guide was crafted with the support and partnership of industry and institutional partners including the Charles Pankow Foundation, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Google, and AIA California Council.
