Tampa Bay Region - Southwest Florida Water Management District

Council in 2002. The City has used reclaimed water for irrigating lawns and landscaped areas since 1977 which has significantly
lowered potable water demands.
The City Administration has been proactive in the development of ordinances vital to achieving the desired objective of
management of water resources and flood protection. Ordinance No. 2017-F and 147-G regulates the control and management of
drainage and surface waters in harmony with the City Comprehensive Plan and SWFWMD regulations. Building developments are
regulated in terms of the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. Water pollution protection is provided by Ordinance 16-311,
which identifies unlawful discharges into the public drainage system and provides for prosecution of violators. The City of St.
Petersburg participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In order to qualify for the program the City adopted and
enforces Article VII Flood Damage Prevention (City Code Sec. 16-376 through Sec. 16-433) to regulate development in the flood
hazard areas. The basic objective of the ordinance is to ensure that such development will not aggravate existing flood conditions
and to verify that new buildings will be protected from damage.
