Reclaim Water - Dry Season - Temporary Restrictions

Due to the ongoing dry conditions and in order to conserve irrigation water availability for all customers, beginning April 24, 2025 Staff will deactivate the Reclaimed Water Distribution pumps between the hours of 10am to 4pm each day. This protocol will continue until routine rainfall has returned.

Daytime usage of reclaimed water has been much higher than normal and is depleting the supply from our tanks during the day before the majority of users have an opportunity to use the resource in the evening and overnight hours. The City augments the supply of reclaimed water with surface water withdrawn from the borrow pit adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The water level  in the borrow pit remains adequate and the city is maximizing its’ withdrawal rate, however, this amount still does not meet the current reclaimed water demand. 

If you  should have any questions or concerns please contact the Department of Environmental Services at 386-424-2400 ext. 4007 or via email at EnvironmentalServices@CityofEdgewater.org.
