On Friday, Broward County leaders held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to announce a new project that will save millions of gallons of wastewater from being dumped into the ocean.

CBS4 News has learned that instead of dumping all of that wastewater into the ocean, it’ll be treated and reused to irrigate any green spaces you see around the county.

County leaders say it’s a huge step in the right direction.
