Water-Efficient Technology Opportunity: On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) identified on-site wastewater treatment systems as a technology that can provide a source of alternative water that is relevant to the federal sector, is commercially available, and offers a significant opportunity to offset freshwater use.

This overview provides agencies with key information to deploy innovative products and systems that may otherwise be overlooked. It also helps agencies identify water-efficient technologies for consideration when entering into energy savings performance contracts and utility energy service contracts.

FEMP considered the following when selecting this technology.

Underutilized in the federal sector
Broad applicability across the federal sector
Lack of information available to agencies on alternative water systems
Offset of freshwater
Market availability
Produced by multiple manufacturers
