This article aims to contribute to the implementation of wastewater reuse and consequently to a more sustainable water resources management in urban areas. For this purpose, data from academic research and practical applications for the reuse of wastewater treatment effluents in non-potable uses, in the case of concrete production, are presented.Quality parameters data required by national and international regulatory frameworks are also compiled and compared, as well as the recommended characteristics for the reuse of wastewater as kneading water, using as a case study the effluents from the wastewater treatment plant Alegria and the demands of four concrete batchers plants (CDCs) in its surroundings. It was verified the compliance of treated effluents regarding the evaluated quality parameters as well as the availability of reuse water to meet the requirements of the CDCs covered.
