New Rules for Urban Wastewater Reuse in Europe

European rules are being designed to help promote wider reuse of treated urban wastewater to prevent water scarcity. The new rules for the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater were agreed on by European negotiators at the end of January. According to the new rules, that by 2035, for communities of over 1000 people or more, there will need to be secondary treatment (i.e. the removal of biodegradable organic matter) to urban wastewater before it is discharged into the environment.
