Pinellas County’s reclaimed water is highly treated wastewater produced through an advanced wastewater treatment process. This process eliminates any harmful byproducts while retaining beneficial elements, such as nitrogen, for irrigating landscapes. For all the details, including rates, connections and so forth, go to Pinellas County's reclaimed water website.
