The reclaimed water system was back online on Tuesday, December 10. Current sample results are now below the maximum daily threshold for bacteria and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has agreed the reclaimed system can go back online.

The system was taken offline on November 21 after staff advised that the reclaimed water was not meeting the disinfection criteria in place to protect the public and natural environment. Environmental Services staff worked 24/7 to resolve issues and was able to bring the reclaimed water back into compliance. 

This issue did not affect drinking water or any water coming into your home through faucets in your kitchen or bathroom. Additional updates will be posted on Largo.com. Questions can be directed to Environmental Service between 8am and 5pm by calling 727-507-4460 .

At the VUEWorks National Conference, Team Largo won an "Innovation Award of Excellence" for its creative use of the software's dashboard module at Environmental Services. The Dashboards are an at-a-glance tool for visualizing asset management data in VUEWorks. A total of 113 dashboard graphics were created showing asset attribute, work management, summary statistics, and quality assurance information. Dashboards were deployed across all levels of the department from the executive to the technician. Every level now has access to the information needed for data-driven decision making, and optimizing an asset's value across its life cycle. Even though the dashboards themselves are at ES, this award speaks to a dedicated interdepartmental asset management team here at the City of Largo.
