Congratulations to Team Ulogoit on the FTF.

Reclaimed water is treated wastewater and can be used for irrigation and other nonpotable uses to extend our water supplies.

Reclaimed water use in the District (for 2007)

  • More than 52 percent (173 mgd) of wastewater in our area is reused.
  • Seven local power plants use reclaimed water as cooling water.
  • More than 180 area golf courses irrigate with reclaimed water.
  • More than 9,000 acres of mostly citrus crops are irrigated with reclaimed water.
  • About 88,000 residential customers in our area irrigate with reclaimed water.

Up to 50 percent of a community’s drinking water is used for irrigation. Much of this irrigation water could be replaced with reclaimed water.

Reclaimed water is a clear and odorless high-quality water source for industrial and irrigation needs.

It can be used for:
  • Irrigation
  • Street-sweeping operations
  • Power generation
  • Decorative fountains
  • Fire protection (purple fire hydrants)
  • Dust control and
  • Aquifer recharge
  • Cooling or makeup water for a variety of industrial processes

  • Body-contact recreation (including swimming pools)
