4 insert:
5 Section 3. Paragraph (c) of subsection (6) of section
6 163.3177, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
7 163.3177 Required and optional elements of comprehensive
8 plan; studies and surveys.—
9 (6) In addition to the requirements of subsections (1)-(5),
10 the comprehensive plan shall include the following elements:
11 (c) A general sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage,
12 potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge element
13 correlated to principles and guidelines for future land use,
14 indicating ways to provide for future potable water, drainage,
15 sanitary sewer, solid waste, and aquifer recharge protection
16 requirements for the area. The element may be a detailed
17 engineering plan including a topographic map depicting areas of
18 prime groundwater recharge.
19 1. Each local government shall address in the data and
20 analyses required by this section those facilities that provide
21 service within the local government’s jurisdiction. Local
22 governments that provide facilities to serve areas within other
23 local government jurisdictions shall also address those
24 facilities in the data and analyses required by this section,
25 using data from the comprehensive plan for those areas for the
26 purpose of projecting facility needs as required in this
27 subsection. For shared facilities, each local government shall
28 indicate the proportional capacity of the systems allocated to
29 serve its jurisdiction.
30 2. The element shall describe the problems and needs and
31 the general facilities that will be required for solution of the
32 problems and needs, including correcting existing facility
33 deficiencies. The element shall address coordinating the
34 extension of, or increase in the capacity of, facilities to meet
35 future needs while maximizing the use of existing facilities and
36 discouraging urban sprawl; conserving potable water resources;
37 and protecting the functions of natural groundwater recharge
38 areas and natural drainage features.
39 3. Within 18 months after the governing board approves an
40 updated regional water supply plan, the element must incorporate
41 the alternative water supply project or projects selected by the
42 local government from those identified in the regional water
43 supply plan pursuant to s. 373.709(2)(a) or proposed by the
44 local government under s. 373.709(8)(b). If a local government
45 is located within two water management districts, the local
46 government shall adopt its comprehensive plan amendment within
47 18 months after the later updated regional water supply plan.
48 The element must identify such alternative water supply projects
49 and traditional water supply projects and conservation and reuse
50 necessary to meet the water needs identified in s. 373.709(2)(a)
51 within the local government’s jurisdiction and include a work
52 plan, covering at least a 10-year planning period, for building
53 public, private, and regional water supply facilities, including
54 development of alternative water supplies, which are identified
55 in the element as necessary to serve existing and new
56 development. The work plan shall be updated, at a minimum, every
57 5 years within 18 months after the governing board of a water
58 management district approves an updated regional water supply
59 plan. Local governments, public and private utilities, regional
60 water supply authorities, special districts, and water
61 management districts are encouraged to cooperatively plan for
62 the development of multijurisdictional water supply facilities
63 that are sufficient to meet projected demands for established
64 planning periods, including the development of alternative water
65 sources to supplement traditional sources of groundwater and
66 surface water supplies.
67 4. A local government that does not own, operate, or
68 maintain its own water supply facilities, including but not
69 limited to wells, treatment facilities, and distribution
70 infrastructure, and is served by a public water utility with a
71 permitted allocation of greater than 300 million gallons per day
72 is not required to amend its comprehensive plan in response to
73 an updated regional water supply plan or to maintain a work plan
74 if any such local government’s usage of water constitutes less
75 than 1 percent of the public water utility’s total permitted
76 allocation. However, any such local government is required to
77 cooperate with, and provide relevant data to, any local
78 government or utility provider that provides service within its
79 jurisdiction, and to keep its general sanitary sewer, solid
80 waste, potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge
81 element updated in accordance with s. 163.3191.
