This reduction of effluent discharge helps the City of Cape Canaveral meet current legislation regulating surface discharge, while benefiting all of us by conserving drinking water supplies. Reclaimed water has a low salt content which will not harm sensitive plants. Reclaimed water has a low iron content which will not stain walkways and buildings. Also, unlike wells, it does not have an odor. Reclaimed water usage reduces the demand on potable and groundwater sources.
Reclaimed water recharges the shallow surficial aquifer with fresh water.
Reclaimed water usage reduces the quantity of effluent discharged into the Indian River Lagoon system. This packet is to explain the system and answer any questions you may have, prior to connecting to the City's reclaimed water system. Viewing this packet in no way obligates you to connect to the City's system. Submission of a fully completed application form and the appropriate connection fee is necessary to initiate a request for connection to the reclaimed water system. An application is included in the front pocket of this packet.
