Using Reclaimed Water
Sprinkling with reclaimed water is not much different from sprinkling with well or tap water. Please keep in mind that this resource is regulated. To take advantage of the program, you must already have, or be willing to install, a permanent in-ground sprinkler system. Existing sprinkler systems can be connected with little or no modifications. Reclaimed water is a nutrient-rich by-product of a biological treatment process. Due to its origin and composition, the use of reclaimed water is restricted by federal, state and local ordinances.

Restrictions

No augmentation to lake or pond levels No connection to a dwelling for toilet flushing or other household uses No consumption of reclaimed water No filling of decorative pools or fountains No inter-connection with another water source No sharing a common reclaimed service or connection between properties

No sprinkling of water on edible crops No supplying air cooling systems No use in swimming pools No use with hose bibs, faucets, quick couplers, or hoses No washing of equipment such as cars, driveways, or structures
