Once viewed as separate and distinct, potable water, wastewater, recycled water, and stormwater are now being viewed as different aspects of the same thing: water. This shift in perception ‐ stimulated by Singapore's NEWater success, dwindling supplies, burgeoning populations, stressed sources, and droughts ‐ has opened the door for utilities to consider previously taboo alternatives, such as incorporating potable reuse into their water portfolio. A major obstacle to public acceptance of this practice has been overcoming the perception that treated wastewater is repugnant ‐ a perception that exists mainly because people never realized that unplanned reuse has always existed in any community downstream of another.
