In 1989, a water reuse project was developed in the Saint Mathieu de Tréviers municipality (South France). Today, the territory actors seem to be totally rediscovering this practice. The aim of this article is to understand this oversight by resocializing treated wastewater. The results show, over time, a different partnership of actors and interests, which can explain the omission of this original TWW reuse project as well as the requalification of this practice.
