Sherwood Design Engineers’ Post

As the WateReuse Association's WateReuse Symposium 2025 wraps up in Tampa, Florida today, Sherwood's Allison Good, PE and Shannon Brown are coming home from another successful event of knowledge-sharing and networking. This is the 40th anniversary since the first Symposium in 1985, and yet the topic of water recycling and its impact on community health, sustainability and prosperity has never been more timely. Earlier this week, Allison co-presented with Vincent Gruffat of Natural Systems Utilities about navigating the waters of implementing on-site reuse—sharing design and operational strategies for translating modeled water use performance targets into real-life operational outcomes. Separately, Shannon presented our team's development of a nature-based community wetlands at the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) that is designed to provide multiple benefits, including nitrogen reduction, community green space, and sea level rise resilience. We've recently begun working on a similar wetlands project with the City of Hayward, underscoring the important role that nature-based systems play in each community's critical water infrastructure and long-term resilience.
