Purpose


Rule 25-30.091 would be adopted to implement section 367.072 FS, which became effective on July 1, 2014. Section 367.072 FS provides that customers may petition the Commission for revocation of their water utility’s certificate of authorization for failing to provide quality of water service and requires such petitions to state with specificity each issue that customers have with the quality of water service, each time the issue was reported to the utility, and how long each issue has existed. Section 367.072 FS further requires such petitions to be signed by at least 65 percent of the customers of the service area covered under the certificate of authorization. Rule 25-30.440 would be amended to implement the requirement in section 367.0812(1)(c) FS that the Commission shall consider complaints filed by customers during the past 5 years regarding the secondary water quality standards as established by the Department of Environmental Protection in determining whether a utility has satisfied its obligation to provide quality of water service.
