美國，華盛頓州，奧林匹亞，2001-02-15 (ENS)- 適用於華盛頓州的5項計劃聲明，回收水能使緊縮的供水量達到最有效的利用。回收的水是指經再利用、或至少使用過一次的水。
在瑟奎（Sequim），回收水是用於景觀綠化的灌溉和幫助回復潺潺溪流。在皇城（Royal City），它回流入地下水層。在艾弗羅塔（Ephrata），建築工地使用它。而在Yelm，它在溼地公園裡和滅火時派上用場。
華盛頓州長蓋瑞•洛克說明，「要讓供水量能被更進一步善加利用，我們在華盛頓能夠且必須去做的諸事之間，這些計劃是傑出的範例。如此一來，我們才能以足夠的水源提供社區、工業以及環保所需。」
艾弗羅塔和皇城從污水處理廠完全回收處理過的水，用它來回充地下水層、洗刷器械、灌溉、還有在建築工地裡混合水泥以及抑制揚塵。
瑟奎回收大部分經過處理的污水，在卡莉布萊克公園裡供造園灌溉之用，同時這裡也示範地點，教導大家有關回收水的好處。這些水也導向溼地，再流進一條缺水已久的溪流。
Yelm 回收經污水處理的水，用來沖洗污水處理廠內設備、滅火、清潔街道、以及教堂、公園、住宅的庭園灌溉。這些回收水也被利用於創造城市溼地公園，包括一個養著虹鱒的魚池。（a catch and release fishpond：人們在這裡釣到魚後，必須即刻將魚兒放生回池裡。）

OLYMPIA, Washington, February 15, 2001 (ENS) - Five projects across Washington state have demonstrated that reclaimed water provides a sustainable way to get maximum use of tight water supplies. Reclaimed water is water that has been recycled or used at least once.
In Sequim, reclaimed water is irrigating landscaping and helping restore stream flows. In Royal City, it is recharging underground aquifers. In Ephrata, it is used at construction sites. And in Yelm, it is used for a wetland park and to fight fires.
"These projects are outstanding examples of what we can and must do all over Washington to make our water supplies stretch further so we have enough water for all of our communities, our industries, and our environmental needs," said Washington Governor Gary Locke.
Ephrata and Royal City reclaim 100 percent of the treated water from their wastewater treatment plants and use it to recharge an underground aquifer, to wash equipment, for irrigation, and at construction sites to mix with concrete and control dust.
Sequim reclaims much of its treated waste water and uses it to irrigate the landscape at the Carrie Blake Park, which also serves as an demonstration site to teach others about the benefits of reclaimed water. The water also is pumped into wetlands that feed a small creek that has been short on water.
Yelm reclaims 100 percent of its treated wastewater to wash down equipment at the treatment plant, fight fires, clean streets and irrigate landscaping at churches, parks and a residence. The reclaimed water also was used to create a city wetland park that includes a catch and release fishpond for rainbow trout.
