Can recycled water be used in swimming pools and spas?
Although the town’s recycled water is approved for full body contact and fish life, the Town does not permit its use in swimming pools and spas at this time. Rather, the Town is trying to convert urban landscape irrigation to recycled water usage wherever possible. Landscape irrigation continues to account for the largest water usage during peak demand periods and continues to be the most practical use of recycled water and preserves our limited potable water supply.
