National Water Reuse Action Plan: Expressing Interest
Since the launch of the National Water Reuse Action Plan: Collaborative Implementation (Version 1), EPA has received numerous inquiries from organizations and entities interested in contributing to the WRAP’s implementation. We are excited to carry forward the momentum as action leaders and partners initiate their actions and new participants are brought into the fold.
As a first line contact, we encourage entities with questions or expressions of interest to reach out to waterreuse@epa.gov. For interest in specific actions, please reach out directly to the leaders listed in the WRAP Online Platform. For those entities interested in WRAP actions being implemented in their geographic area, EPA has designated water reuse contact persons for every EPA Region. To identify your local EPA Region, refer to the map of Regional offices.
EPA has identified specific points of contact for every action, charged with regular communication with Action Leaders to help ensure that actions remain up-to-date on the WRAP Online Platform. The full table of these points of contacts, on an action by action basis, is provided below.
