Mission Statement
To efficiently
and effectively provide the highest quality of service possible to
all potable and reclaimed water customers within the City while
conserving and protecting our groundwater resources. This service
will ensure the uninterrupted delivery of adequate quantities of
water with the highest possible quality to meet the potable,
irrigation, and fire flow needs of the system.
New Automatic Meter Reading
Automatic Meter Reading, also known as AMR, is
currently being implemented by the City of Dunedin Water Division
and Utility Billing Division. Your AMR device will be installed in
your current potable and reclaimed meters boxes at no additional
cost to you. You will continue to be billed for only that water
which you use. Bills will not be estimated.

In accordance with the US EPA
Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Florida Administrative Code
Section 62-550, the City of Dunedin is currently installing
BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICES on the water service lines to protect
the public water system. This notice is to advise you of a possible
situation that you may experience when the Backflow Prevention
Device becomes operational.
When a Backflow Prevention Device is NOT present, the public
water mains provide a ”cushion” that absorbs pressure
that occurs in a home’s plumbing system from thermal
expansion. This water expansion is caused when water is heated in
the hot water heater. The Backflow Prevention device is designed to
stop water from back flowing into the City main. Therefore, the
expanding water no longer has a place to go so it remains in the
hot water heater and builds up pressure. In normal hot water heater
operation the thermal expansion would cause the TEMPERATURE &
PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE (TP) to release water when the pressure
exceeds 100 lbs. per square inch (PSI). Discharge may occur
indicating the mechanism is immediate area surrounding your hot
water heater if a discharge line does not extend from the pressure
control/valve on your hot water heater through an outside wall. The
following devices can be installed by a plumber to prevent
this:
- Ball cock relief valve – Watts governor 80 or equal
- Temperature and pressure relief valve installed on an out side spigot, set at 90 P.S.I. – Watts model 530 or equal
- Thermal expansion tank
If you have any questions or if your plumber has questions, please call the City of Dunedin Water Division (298-3100) and ask for Dan Chislock.
