City of Dunedin Temporarily Out of Reclaimed Water

Published on April 28, 2025

The City of Dunedin is currently out of reclaimed water due to extremely high demand during the dry season. As a result, customers should expect very low water pressure and limited reclaimed water availability over the next few days.

Reclaimed water, which is primarily used for landscape irrigation, is a combination of treated wastewater from homes and businesses and byproduct water from the City's reverse osmosis water treatment plant. This facility operates year-round, 24/7, and is managed by skilled operators, mechanics and electricians dedicated to providing high-quality reclaimed water.

Reclaimed water is stored in four tanks located throughout the City before being pumped to customers. At this time, all four tanks are experiencing a shortage due to continued high demand. The system is expected to recover as supplies are replenished. City staff are actively monitoring conditions and will provide updates as availability improves.
