Citywide Reclaimed Water Inspections

The direct impact on constituents will be minimal. Again, residents will notice crews and equipment in the public right-of-way intermittently. Project hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. There may be opportunities for weekend work. Adverse weather or unforeseen circumstances can create delays or prolong the inspection process.

A reminder, constituents may experience brief or intermittent reclaimed water interruptions. Solid waste, recycling, and other services will continue as scheduled. Should an emergency occur, first responders and emergency vehicles will have priority access.

The proactive inspection of the reclaimed water system allows the city to identify locations where sediment may be trapped. Trapped sediment can potentially create a blockage in the line that can potentially cause low water pressure. This citywide inspection will help lessen opportunities for future problems and maintain the system's efficiency.

The City of Orlando’s Water Reclamation Division is required by Florida Administrative Code 62-610.469 to conduct inspections within the reclaimed water service area to verify proper connections, monitor proper use of reclaimed water, and minimize the potential for cross-connections.
