 Article V. RECLAIMED WATER SERVICE

  § 122-185. Requirements for property developers to provide reclaimed water distribution systems.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Developments constructed within the unincorporated areas of Volusia County shall have a reclaimed water distribution system designed and installed therein for irrigating green areas including all residential, commercial, public and private landscape areas per provisions of the Volusia County Land Development Code, Ordinance 88-3, as amended.

    (b)

    For developments receiving central water and sewer service from Volusia County Water and Utilities, there shall be a requirement for evaluation of the incorporation and use of reclaimed water. This evaluation shall be in the form of application to the county as part of the wastewater treatment capacity review. The director shall review the water reuse capacity of the project and determine if its incorporation into the reclaimed water system represents a beneficial use of the reclaimed water resource. The director shall determine the requirement for use of reclaimed water based on:

    (1)

    The multiplicative product of 100 gallons/person/day, the number of units per acre and 2.5 persons/unit; or

    (2)

    Engineering data supplied by the applicant.

    After consideration of the above evaluation, the director shall recommend if the development will be required to connect to the reclaimed water distribution system and comply with this Code. If so required, connection to the reclaimed water distribution system shall be a condition precedent to receipt of potable water and wastewater service for the subject development. The applicant shall construct, at its expense, all necessary onsite reuse facilities in the nature of pipes, storage lakes, retaining ponds, and spray or sprinkler facilities (low trajectory spray heads) for irrigation with reclaimed water. The county shall construct all necessary transmission lines, pumping stations, and appurtenant improvements for transmitting reclaimed water from the county's reclaimed water distribution system to the applicant's site.
