Customers include commercial, industrial and the City of Coconut Creek.
The system currently supplies 4 MGD of reuse.
Broward also provides effluent to Pompano Beach to supply their reclaimed water treatment plant.

3. Background (cont’d)

Agreements are currently being finalized

4. Impact of Ocean Outfall Rule
In 2008, the Florida Legislature passed the Ocean Outfall Rule impacting Broward County and other outfall utilities in South Florida.
This rule required Broward to limit operations of the Ocean Outfall by 2025 and required Broward to provide 60% of the historical outfall flow as beneficial reuse.
Since Broward’s historical flow was 37.4 MGD, our requirement to provide an additional 22.4 MGD of beneficial reuse was mandated by this rule.
This means that Broward has to supply approximately 26 MGD of reuse by Initial cost estimates for this impact was on the order of $500 million dollars.
