Scottsdale Water hosted a group of local breweries on a tour of the city’s Water Campus and its direct potable reuse system. This system is the only permitted facility in the state to allow for reclaimed water to be ultra-purified for reuse.

Scottsdale Water plans to relaunch the One Water Brewing Showcase this fall. Stay tuned for more details.
