City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-07-20 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand is planning to promote water conservation by requiring new residential subdivisions within the city's reclaimed water service area to include lines for reclaimed water. Developments with over 100 equivalent residential units (ERUs) will need to provide storage and pumping facilities for peak flow and reclaimed water augmentation. The city also plans to protect aquifer recharge areas by requiring open space for all developments and developing methods to measure and promote stormwater catchment and infiltration. This initiative is currently under review as part of the city's conservation element. The project will involve significant underground utility work for reclaimed water lines, potentially site clearing and grading for storage and pumping facilities, and extensive civil engineering and surveying. Contractors specializing in utility work, site preparation, and potentially concrete and paving will be needed. Suppliers of water infrastructure materials will also be sought. Engaging early with the city planning department could provide valuable insight into upcoming project details and timelines before formal bidding processes begin.
