Purpose


The Department is proposing amendments to Chapter 62-555, F.A.C., “Permitting, Construction, Operation, and Maintenance of Public Water Systems," based on subsection 403.064(17), F.S., which authorized the Department to initiate rulemaking to implement the recommendations of the Potable Reuse Commission’s 2020 report “Advancing Potable Reuse in Florida: Framework for the Implementation of Potable Reuse in Florida.” These amendments, in conjunction with proposed amendments to Chapters 62-550 and 62-610, F.A.C., and proposed Chapter 62-565, F.A.C., will establish regulatory requirements for facilities involved in the production of advanced treated water or distribution of potable water derived from advanced treated water.
