The TWCA Reuse Committee white paper discusses several issues around water reuse in Texas. It notes that over the last ten years there have been many applications for indirect reuse that have been partially or wholly resolved through settlements or contested cases. The 2017 State Water Plan also relies on significant amounts of reuse by 2070. The paper outlines sections of the Texas Water Code dealing with reuse and return flows, and identifies five key issues: 1) Whether reuse is a new appropriation or requires a "bed and banks permit", 2) Whether the source of effluent matters, 3) How historic and future return flows should be treated, 4) Who can obtain reuse rights, and 5) How environmental flows may be impacted.
