Abstract: A system and method produce a treated effluent from untreated wastewater. An untreated wastewater is obtained from a wastewater source and processed in a membrane bioreactor to produce treated effluent. The treated effluent is then processed in the first reverse osmosis system. Optionally, an effluent permeate produced by the first reverse osmosis system is injected into a subterranean formation through an injection well, wherein formation water is subsequently extracted from the subterranean formation through a recovery well and processed in a reverse osmosis system to produce a permeate water stream which may be supplied to a potable water distribution system.
