Saving Water in and around your home

The statistically average single-family residence uses 16 thousand gallons per month. Individual use may vary based on the number of people in your household, and irrigation demand.  Click here to read more about saving water in and around your home.
 

The Utilities Department has become a partner with WaterSense, a conservation program and information clearinghouse sponsored through the Environmental Protection Agency.  This partnership will assist the City in determining the best technologies and education strategies to implement in reaching our goal of conserving water.

Lead Information

In the summer of 2008, the Utilities Laboratory sampled for Lead and Copper and found that all 34 homes tested were below the federal limit for lead and copper.  With 100% of the homes passing the study, the City is currently on reduced monitoring (every three years).


If you would like to participate in the next compliance study, and your home was constructed between 1982 and 1986, and you have copper pipes, please call 954.545.7004

 
Award

Florida Section AWAA 2004 Water Conservation Awards for Excellence -
American Water Works Association (AWWA) selected the City of Pompano Beach Reuse System for the Best in Class for Reuse Efficiency for a large utility.  This award recognizes outstanding achievements in water efficiency, water supply and resource development initiative thought Florida.

2005 FWEA David W. York Reuse Project of the Year 5-15 MGD Award Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA) presented this award on April 26, 2005 at their Awards Luncheon in Jacksonville, FL.  The award is given to facilities that provide a beneficial use of reclaimed water.

Reuse starts as treated wastewater that would have been discharged into the ocean from the County wastewater plant.  Past and present City Commissions have had the foresight to invest in a Reuse treatment facility.  Download the Annual Reuse Report and Customer Information Brochure

The Reuse Treatment Plant takes the County’s treated wastewater plant discharge and further treats and disinfects the water for use as irrigation water.  Hence, the water is reclaimed or reused in place of wasting drinking water for irrigation at the city golf course, road medians and homes.  For every gallon of reuse water used, a gallon of drinking water is saved.

  • Enhances water resources
  • Ensures a supply of fresh drinking water for our citizens
  • Battles Saltwater intrusion into the drinking water aquifer
  • Provides a means of irrigation during times of drought
  • Cost .58 cents per 1,000 gallons vs. a minimum of 1.71-3.76 per 1,000 gallons of drinking water.
  • Protects the environment

Look for the PURPLE PIPE and Meter Lids!  Purple is the universal color of reuse water.  The system is located from the Airpark to the Intracoastal.  As the system grows look for PURPLE! 

South Florida Water Management District has announced that salt water intrusion had continued in all of the Lower East Coast Water Supply, EXCEPT in the City of Pompano Beach.  Not only had the salt water intrusion halted its progression in Pompano, it had in fact reversed its course!
