Reclaimed Water-Limitation for Daytime Usage 10am-4pm

Due to the ongoing dry conditions and in order to conserve irrigation water availability for all customers, beginning Monday, May 22, 2023 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 had been much higher than normal and was depleting the supply from our tanks during the day before the majority of users had 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 The City augments the supply of reclaimed water with surface water withdrawn from the borrow pit adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.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 level of the borrow pit has dropped very low, and is close to the level which will require us to suspend augmenting.

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.
