There is interest in tracking stormwater reuse systems so that lessons learned can be shared, and the impacts of stormwater reuse documented. The inventory here started with the results of a 2021 survey conducted by Barr Engineering. Note this is not a complete list of Minnesota projects.
Please use this information and contacts as a resource, and contact Mike Trojan at the MPCA to have information on your system added to the list.
