City of Orlando Takes Top Honors for
Reclaimed Water
Facilities
The City of Orlando has three wastewater treatment plants that
produce reclaimed
water. Reclaimed water is highly treated wastewater which can be
utilized for a variety of
uses. Most common uses for reclaimed water in Orlando are
irrigation of green space
such as golf courses, apartment complexes, medians, schools and
parks. Together, these
projects represent a reduction of over 50 million gallons per
day (MGD) to the demand on
the Florida aquifer and will help to protect Central Florida’s
lakes, wetlands and springs.
Spotlight: The Iron Bridge facility is an award-winning project
designed for a capacity of a
40 MGD plant, which uses cutting edge technology to obtain some
of the highest level of
nutrient removal in the country.
