Titusville, FL Water Use Rules: Recycled Water Rules (2026)

Titusville's landscape irrigation rules in chapter 21, division 3 treat recycled and reclaimed water differently from potable water. Section 21-62(7) exempts irrigation with recycled water drawn from a wet detention treatment pond from the city's day-and-time watering schedule entirely, allowing it at any time, but only if the pond itself is not augmented from any ground or off-site surface water or from the public water supply. Reclaimed water is treated differently: section 21-63 defines a reclaimed water system as one whose primary source is reclaimed water, which may or may not be supplemented from another source during peak demand, and it requires reclaimed-water customers who irrigate landscape to follow the same schedules and exceptions in sections 21-61 and 21-62 that apply to potable-water customers, rather than exempting them outright.

Any irrigation system installed after May 1, 1991, regardless of water source, must carry a rain sensor device under section 21-64 that shuts the system off automatically once adequate rainfall has occurred. Enforcement of sections 21-61 through 21-64 runs to Titusville law enforcement and code enforcement officers as well as staff designated by the water resources director, under section 21-66. 00. Beyond those citation fines, the water resources director may also discontinue water service, including reclaimed water service, for a violation of the emergency-restriction provisions in sections 21-41 through 21-46.
