Current through Reg. 50, No. 187; September 24, 2024
(1) A
Phase III Water Shortage is a hydrologic or climatic condition in which
multiple regional Drought Indicators have severely abnormal values, or a local
Drought Indicator for a specific public supply has an extremely abnormal value,
such that conditions warrant temporary minimization of unnecessary water use
and/or preparation for supply augmentation. The following measures shall be in
effect during a Phase III Water Shortage unless otherwise provided in the order
implementing a Phase III Water Shortage.
(2) Indoor Use. Indoor Uses should be
voluntarily reduced.
(3) Essential
Uses.
(a) Fire Fighting & Other
First-Responder Activities.

1., F.A.C., except that fire hydrant testing shall be limited to only
activities conducted by fire service personnel, water utility personnel or
vendors as authorized by Chapter 633, F.S., that the applicable fire service or
water utility has approved to conduct that activity during the specific Water
Shortage declaration.
2. Each
fire-fighting agency shall, and each local government shall direct its fire
department review and revise its list of primary and back-up sources. This
review and revision process should involve, as necessary, work with District
staff to proactively locate potential back-up sources, such as existing
permitted supplies, especially in areas where potable water is not available
for fire-fighting purposes.
(b) Water Utility Use. In addition to the
requirements of the applicable Water Use Permit, the following restrictions and
other required actions shall apply to all Water Utility Uses, as appropriate:

regional water supply authority or other public water supply system and
coordination with District staff to request any appropriate emergency
order.
2. Each public supply water
system, except wholesale-only systems, shall provide, directly or through the
appropriate local agency, the following enforcement assistance:
a. Ongoing implementation of all provisions

as appropriate, in portions of the service area where violation complaints or
identified High-Use Single Family accounts appear to be concentrated. At a
minimum, this shall include the use of either night-time enforcement patrols on
at least a once-per-week basis or automatic meter reading technology to detect
extra lawn watering.
c. Issuance of
a citation, without needing to first issue a warning, in response to any
violation that occurs more than 14 days after the effective date of a Phase III
Water Shortage order declaration. Warnings are authorized in lieu of citations
if the violation is not witnessed or otherwise confirmed by the local
enforcement agency's employee or authorized agent.

declaration and then each subsequent month during which the declaration remains
in effect, each water utility shall provide a concise monthly system status
report to the District. This report shall include the following:
