Title 12174 · Code of Ordinances
Sec. 752.107. - Use of reclaimed water.
Citation: Jacksonville, FL Code of Ordinances § 752.107.
Section: 752.107.
(a) All uses of reclaimed water shall be in accordance with applicable rules of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. (b) Unless the reclaimed water provider otherwise agrees, each customer shall be solely responsible for maintaining the customer's reclaimed water system in good working condition. A customer's failure to maintain the reclaimed water system in good working condition shall be grounds for enforcement including discontinuance of reclaimed water and potable water service to the customer's premises until the reclaimed water system is restored to good working condition. (c) Cross connections between reclaimed water facilities and potable water facilities are prohibited. The presence of a cross connection on a customer's property shall constitute a violation of this Chapter and shall be grounds for immediate discontinuance of either the potable or reclaimed water service to the customer's premises. (d) Reclaimed water providers shall monitor reclaimed water connections on their systems so as not to exceed the capacity of the system. While it is the intent of the Council that utilities and industries that produce reclaimed water shall maximize the reuse of reclaimed water, Council recognizes that, at times, it may be necessary to limit a customer's use of reclaimed water. Notwithstanding any provision of this Chapter, neither the City nor any provider of reclaimed water makes any representation about the continuing availability or implementation of reclaimed water service within Duval County. Furthermore, nothing in this Chapter shall be constructed to create a debt or general obligation of either the City or any reclaimed water provider, or a pledge of the full faith and credit or taxing power of the City or the rate setting authority of any utility.
