Reuse, in million gallons per day (MGD)
Reuse and disposal in SFWMD High reuse in CFWI and
Lower West Coast areas Lower reuse in the
southeast, especially Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties

REUSE BY REGION
Close to 100% reused Newer development,
increased efficiency
30-50% reuse Transitional, regionalization
4-7% reuse Older, urban, coastal
wastewater systems Ocean outfall legislation
Boca Raton – 10 MGD
OCEAN OUTFALL LEGISLATION
2008 legislation requires utilities with ocean outfalls to reuse 60 percent of discharge by 2025
Required water reuse by county:Palm Beach: 14 MGD
Broward: 44 MGD
Miami-Dade: 117 MGD

• Increase irrigation• Recharge Floridan Aquifer?
• Increase irrigation
• FPL cooling water• Recharge Floridan Aquifer?
BROWARD-PALM BEACH COUNTY COOPERATION
Broward County Required to reuse water per
the Ocean Outfall Program Limited demand for reuse in
the area
Palm Beach County Significant demand for reuse in
south county Currently unable to service
that area Joint project to maximize reuse
Reuse Opportunities Help meet water use permit
demands Aquifer recharge Saline intrusion barriers Industrial (cooling water) Environmental Required to reuse water per
the Ocean Outfall Program Limited demand for reuse
in the area
FUTURE FOR INCREASED USE OF RECLAIMED WATER AND STORMWATER
Continue to increase public-access irrigation
Aquifer recharge (RIBs and recharge wells)
Saline intrusion barriers Power plant cooling Direct Potable Reuse might
be challenging in water-rich areas
