This article announces that American Water, the largest investor‐owned water and wastewater utility in the U.S., has been selected by the WateReuse Foundation to review various methods for monitoring microbes in reclaimed water and treated wastewater. The project, titled “Examination of Microbiological Methods for Use with Reclaimed Water,” will develop a standard framework to help utility operators, engineers, regulators, and scientists more accurately assess the public health impact of microbes in reclaimed water.
