At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on May 2, 2023, Vice Mayor Maria Sachs presented a proclamation declaring May 14-20, 2023, as Water Reuse Week in Palm Beach County. Water reuse provides a means for conserving and augmenting Florida’s precious water resources. Florida has risen to be a national leader in water reuse, reusing approximately 900 million gallons of reclaimed water per day, which is more than 50% of the wastewater treated, to conserve freshwater supplies and recharge our freshwater resources. The Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (WUD) has implemented a water reuse program and encourages efficient and effective use of reclaimed water.
