Raleigh's reclaimed water program treats wastewater to reuse standards for irrigation at golf courses, industrial sites, and large campuses near the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility, reducing potable demand on Falls Lake.
Raleigh Water operates one of the Southeast's larger reclaimed water systems anchored at the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility. Customers within service zones near the facility can connect dual-piped systems for irrigation, cooling towers, and toilet flushing. The system follows NC reclaimed water rules under 15A NCAC 02U. Cross-connections with potable plumbing are forbidden. Common users include athletic complexes, manufacturing sites, and developing campuses. Residential service is limited because distribution mains do not reach most neighborhoods.
Cross-connection or unauthorized use violates NC reclaimed water rules with fines from $200 and possible disconnection. Tampering may trigger NCDEQ enforcement.
