Reclaimed water is delivered to JEA customers via purple pipes. Purple piping distinguishes reclaimed water from potable water and is one means of preventing cross connections between the two systems. |
Reclaimed water is highly treated wastewater. It has a good, clear appearance, is non-staining, odorless and is safe for irrigation. It contains low levels of nutrients that help our lawns and plants grow.
Is Reclaimed Water Clean?
Reclaimed water must meet strict standards established and regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. These standards require high levels of treatment, including filtration and disinfection, and continuous monitoring of water quality.
Pipelines carrying reclaimed water are purple. Pipes and sprinkler heads on the reclaimed water system should be purple as well. This distinguishes them from pipes carrying drinking water.
