Reclaimed water (dispensed from the purple pipes) is processed in accordance with the standards described here:

Reclaimed Water | WaterMatters.org

Safety Assured
Strict requirements for the design, operation and monitoring of reclaimed water system facilities ensure that reclaimed water can be safely used for landscape irrigation and other purposes.

Municipal reuse facilities treat the water with a six-step process before delivering it to consumers through a reclaimed water distribution system. These facilities are continuously monitored to ensure that only high-quality reclaimed water goes into the distribution system.

Reclaimed water that has been treated to this level is essentially pathogen-free, sparkling clear and can safely be used by residents for irrigation and by businesses for irrigation, cooling and other industrial purposes. Florida has been a leader in safety with no reclaimed water-related illnesses since the state’s use of reclaimed water began 40 years ago.

The District will continue to support the development of reclaimed water as a safe, effective and efficient alternative water supply.

Decades of historical data demonstrate that both urban and agricultural irrigation use of reclaimed water is a safe and effective water supply. Existing literature adequately addresses quality and safety questions about the use of reclaimed water.
