About Reclaimed Water |
|
Reclaimed water involves taking wastewater from treatment plants, giving it a high degree of treatment and using the resulting
high quality water for a new beneficial use. Reclaimed water is delivered to homes and businesses through an underground distribution system entirely separate
from the drinking water system.
Extensive treatment and disinfecting ensure that public health and environmental quality are protected. Reclaimed water must meet strict standards
of quality established by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection. The reclaimed water system is monitored 24 hours a day by county personnel to ensure that consistent water
quality standards are met. Physical contact with reclaimed water is not known to have any negative effects. However, reclaimed water should never be used
for consumption or sanitary purposes. |
