WateReuse Association welcomes Bruno Pigott as executive director

The WateReuse Association announced on July 18, 2025, that it has selected Bruno Pigott for the role of executive director. Pigott brings over three decades of leadership in environmental policy and infrastructure investment at the local, state, and federal levels.

Most recently, he served as the Acting Assistant Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water, where he oversaw all safe drinking water, wastewater, and surface water programs, as well as the National Water Reuse Action Plan. During his time at EPA, Pigott played a key role in addressing some of the nation’s most pressing water issues including PFAS, Lead and Copper Rule implementation, combined sewer overflows, and more.

Prior to his federal service, Pigott held a series of senior roles over the course of two decades with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, including five years as the Agency Commissioner. Pigott’s efforts for the State of Indiana included overseeing the State Revolving Loan Fund, a key water infrastructure program that WateReuse advocates for nationwide. He has also lent his leadership to institutions including the Great Lakes Commission, the Ohio River Sanitation Commission, and the City Council of Iowa City.

Pigott holds a bachelor’s degree in political theory and economics from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in public and environmental affairs from Indiana University.

“We are thrilled to advance the mission of WateReuse with Bruno’s leadership,” said Bart Weiss, WateReuse Association president and chief officer for innovation, resiliency, and sustainability at Hillsborough County, Florida, in a press release. “His deep policy knowledge, strategic leadership, and passion for innovation in water reuse will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow our national impact and support our members.”
