Guidelines for the Demonstration of Pathogen Log Removal Credits in Wastewater Treatment


  • San Diego State University, University of South Florida
  • Funded by the Water Research Foundation


The objective of this project is to develop recommendations and guidance materials for the determination of pathogen reduction credits for wastewater treatment and potable reuse systems. A dialogue-based communication plan will be used to engage regulators, develop guidance materials, and disseminate recommendations.

Venthic Technologies will support the integration of the Treatment Plant Sketcher Tool in the process, enabling regulators to manage data from site-specific pathogen reduction studies, build and utilize shared data sets for water reuse operations.
