Section 373.246(6), Florida Statutes, requires a water management district to “notify each permittee in the district by regular mail of any change in the condition of his or her permit, or any suspension of his or her permit or of any other restriction on the permittee’s use of water” upon the issuance of a Water Shortage Declaration. The proposed rulemaking will amend Rule 40D-21.275, F.A.C., to provide that the District will send a Notice of Water Shortage by regular U.S. mail to those Permittees whose permits will be affected or whose permitted water use will otherwise be restricted by a Water Shortage Declaration. Previously, the District sent a Notice of Water Shortage to all Permittees in an area affected by a Water Shortage Declaration. The rulemaking is necessary to make the District’s rule consistent with the requirements of statute.
