Mr. DiNatale served on the American Water Works Association Committee that developed the Dual Water Systems, Manual of Water Supply Practices, AWWA M24, AWWA Distribution and Plant Operations Division Committee on Dual Distribution Systems (1994).
Water and Reclaimed Treatment Facility Design/Construction/OperationMr. DiNatale provided oversight for the design, construction, and operation of a 6-mgd reclaimed water treatment facility, which went online in 2000.

Mr. DiNatale participated in development of reclaimed system master plans for the City of Westminster and Town of Erie. The Erie plan included a combination of raw ditch and stream water and treated wastewater effluent. GIS was used in both projects to identify concentrated areas of projected non-potable demand. Water supply models were used to identify the best way to maximize production and recapture of reusable return flows.
The determination of legally reusable water supplies requires careful analysis in the western states. For a number of clients and projects, Mr. DiNatale has conducted the legal and engineering analysis of legally reusable return flows. For the Colorado Statewide Water Supply Initiative he was the primary author of Section 8 “Options for Meeting Future Water Needs” outlining the opportunities and constraints to potable and Nonpotable reuse in Colorado.
