Water Reuse – 24 Years of DBOF Projects
• Over 40 systems using direct and indirect water reuse
• Residential, Commercial, Institutional, Industrial
• Water Reuse of 25%-95% providing significant reduction in water and wastewater demands
• Flush water, cooling, laundry, irrigation applications
• Wastewater mining and centralized system load shedding

Create via Design Build – assume risk of implementat ionEliminate multiple contractor, multiple phase liability
Manage via long term Operation – assume risk of func tional performanceInclude operating functions into the design process and control ultimate performance
Direct Investment – Finance – assume risk of financia l performanceSponsor direct investments and funds into niche utility asset types as a blend of debt and equity, sometimes partnering with governmental agencies and funding mechanisms (PPP)
NSU Water Infrastructure Profitable long-term assets that provide appropriate risk/reward profile

Why These Innovations Occurred – Innovation Drivers
6
• Scarce resource or lack of adequate supporting infrastructure
• Inadequate sustainable water supply
• Overflowing or noncompliant wastewater system
• Favorable economics
• Property values were adequately high – cost of innovation was small (typically < 1.5% of construction)
• Lower life cycle costs – superior TBL outcome
• Immediate operating and capital cost benefits
• Strong environmental initiatives
• Green Building
• Need to reduce environmental impacts
