Reclaimed water shall be provided to all properties located within the MRZ based upon a planned and funded schedule for infrastructure construction. It is required that all properties with a direct hook up connection to the reuse system provided by the town shall be required to connect to said system upon the earlier of either entering into a reclaimed water agreement with the town or the renewal of their consumptive use permit (CUP).

Full Breakdown
Town of Davie Code Chapter 25, Article VI creates a Mandatory Reuse Zone (MRZ) covering parts of this Broward County town, adopted under Ordinance No. 2012-14 to cut demand for freshwater for non-essential uses. Section 25-62 requires every property within the MRZ that has a direct hookup to the town's reuse system to connect, once that connection becomes due: either when the owner signs a reclaimed water agreement with the town or when their consumptive use permit (CUP) comes up for renewal, whichever comes first. Section 25-66 further requires all non-residential parcels to use reuse water as it becomes available, and reclaimed water agreements run up to ten years under § 25-68.
Violations & Fines
No stated fine in this article; connection becomes mandatory at CUP renewal or reclaimed-water-agreement signing, and the town enforces hookup through its standard code-enforcement process.
