Advanced Water Purification Program!

Dear Stakeholders,

ADEQ is pleased to introduce the Advanced Water Purification (AWP) Proposed Program Roadmap. This innovative program aims to convert treated wastewater into purified water, addressing water scarcity challenges in Arizona. 

Our goal is to introduce AWP as a viable option for Arizona communities, ensuring a safe, reliable, and sustainable drinking water supply. To that end, we invite all stakeholders and interested parties to contribute their input on the proposed Roadmap as we collaborate to enhance Arizona's water portfolio for a prosperous future.

The AWP Proposed Program Roadmap is the result of eight months of research and recommendations by the Technical Advisory Group on AWP topics such as pathogen and chemical control, enhanced source control, advanced water treatment, and outreach.

  • We are confident that our state will meet and exceed industry standards.
