    The scope of the Direct Potable Water Reuse Task Group is to review all proposals pertaining to onsite wastewater treatment for direct potable water reuse (DPR) as published in the 2022 WE•Stand Report on Proposals (ROP) and develop public comments for technical committee consideration.

    Task group members will participate via conference call or web meeting, provide their perspective on the code, and assist in drafting recommendations for action by the WE•Stand Technical Committee. Applicants are not required to be members of the WE•Stand Technical Committee.

    Those interested in participating on a WE•Stand task group may apply HERE

    The deadline to apply is Oct. 14.

    Developed and subsequently republished at the conclusion of each three-year code cycle, the WE•Stand is designed to provide progressive codified requirements to optimize water use practices attributed to the built environment while maintaining protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
