In 2012, San Francisco's Public Utilities Commission began developing the Onsite Water Reuse Program to investigate whether water reuse could be a solution to California's water problem. There weren't any state or national regulations, so a permitting program was created to streamline adoption of on-site water-reuse systems.
On-site water reuse is becoming a strong alternative to building large water-recycling plants, as the US faces a $625 billion cost to repair water infrastructure. Silicon Valley is investing in these systems to address future water supply challenges in California.
