BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – Brevard County is growing so fast that local leaders are worried about running out of water.
The population is expected to increase by almost 20% by 2035, so they’re looking into new water management ideas to reuse and conserve crucial resources.
Reusing wastewater is one recommendation in the county’s new water management plan to guide policies. The plan passed 5-0 at a planning and zoning meeting on Monday. The county is looking ahead to ensuring its residents don’t run out of water.
“More people means more water,” said Edward Fontanin, the utility services director for Brevard County.
In the coming years, Brevard County will need more water because many more people are moving into the area. According to the new water supply plan, the county’s population will increase by 17% by 2035, and water use will increase by 34 %.
