Filter Backwash Recycling Rule
In May 2001, EPA released a rule governing the process of recycling waste
water generated by the backwashing of drinking water filters. The Filter
Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR) is required by the Safe Drinking Water
Act as one method of reducing the risks posed to consumers by microbial
contaminants that may be present in public drinking water supplies.
