3.7.1 Countywide Conservation Issues
Based upon the statutory guidance and the delineation of feasibility factors found in the
State Water Policy, Chapter 17-40, F.A.C., the Governing Board of the SFWMD has
determined that, in those areas of the District which are not designated a Critical Water
Supply Problem Area pursuant to Chapter 40E-23, (see figure III-3), when reclaimed
water is readily available it must be used in place of higher quality water sources, unless
it is demonstrated by the applicant that its use is either not environmentally,
economically or technically feasible. In determining whether reclaimed water is readily
available, SFWMD will consider the following factors:
(1) Whether a suitable source of reclaimed water exists;
(2) Whether the source is offered to or controlled by the Applicant; and
(3) Whether the Applicant is capable of accessing the source through distribution
lines.
In those areas of the District which are designated as Critical Water Supply Problem
Areas pursuant to Chapter 40E-23, reclaimed water is required to be used, unless it is
demonstrated by the applicant that its use is either not environmentally, economically or
technically feasible.
Public water supply utilities that control, either directly or indirectly, a wastewater
treatment plant, and which have determined, in accordance with Section 403.064, F.S.,
that use of reclaimed water is feasible, must provide the District with each of the
following:
(1) The existing reuse feasibility study or plan applicable to the utility's service area.
Examples of such studies or plans include a reuse feasibility study prepared for
the Department pursuant to Section 403.064, F.S., or a reuse project plan
prepared for the Public Service Commission pursuant to Section 367.0817, F.S.
(2) A copy of the schedule of implementation for reuse, including any available
information regarding areas to be served, construction of reclaimed water
distribution lines and associated capacities.
