From its source to your tap, the City of Fort Lauderdale provides its neighbors with millions of gallons of potable drinking water every day, delivering clean water to your home or business. This water is essential for cooking, hygiene, cleaning, medical care, manufacturing, energy production, sanitation, and air conditioning systems, among many other uses. But water is a finite resource in South Florida, and Fort Lauderdale is limited in the amount of freshwater it can pump from the aquifer system. This limited resource has been put under increasing pressure by salt-water intrusion, South Florida’s population boom, and aging infrastructure. This makes water conservation a priority!
