The U.S. Department of the Interiors (Department) WaterSmart (Sustain and Manage Americas Resources for Tomorrow) program provides a framework for federal leadership and assistance to stretch and secure water supplies for future generations in support of the departments priorities.

Through WaterSmart, Reclamation leverages federal and non-federal funding to support stakeholder efforts to stretch scarce water supplies and avoid conflicts over water.

Through the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program (Title XVI), authorized by Public P.L. 102-575 in 1992, Reclamation provides financial and technical assistance to local water agencies for the planning, design, and construction of water reclamation and reuse projects.

Water recycling is a tool in stretching the limited water supplies in the western United States. Title XVI projects develop and supplement urban and irrigation water supplies through water reuse, thereby improving efficiency, providing flexibility during water shortages, and diversifying the water supply.

These projects provide growing communities with new sources of clean water which increases water management flexibility and makes our water supply more reliable. Title XVI water projects are an important part of the WaterSmart program.

For further information on the WaterSmart program, see https://www.usbr.gov/watersmart.

Under this agreement, the recipient shall expand the use of recycled water produced by the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WWRF).
