St. Johns River Water Management District to continue discussion of proposed amendments to the Water Conservation Rule
The SJRWMD Governing Board is currently discussing a planning/rulemaking initiative which will likely have a significant impact on grocery stores, retail stores, bottled beverages, and restaurants. For the past 6-10 months the District Staff has been working with water utilities, agriculture and self-supplied users to develop its 2010 District Water Supply Plan and an enhanced water conservation rule.

Issue History
06/23/10The proposed rulemaking will be discussed by the SJRWMD Governing Board at their next meeting scheduled for 7/13/10. At that time (according to the Resource Management Department), "staff will request authorization to publish Notice of Rule Development for changes to the Environmental Resource Permit and Consumptive Use Permit rules. These changes will primarily affect irrigation system design and installation. They anticipate discussing the water use efficiency goals and requesting authorization to publish Notice of Rule Development for more comprehensive changes to the Consumptive Use Permitting rules at the September 2010 Governing Board meeting."
