PURPOSE:

The Department of Environmental Protection is proposing the adoption of Chapter 62-565, F.A.C., “Potable Reuse,” to implement recommendations of the Potable Reuse Commission’s 2020 report “Advancing Potable Reuse in Florida: Framework for the Implementation of Potable Reuse in Florida” as required by Florida’s Clean Waterways Act of 2020 and the new groundwater exemption in Section 403.0643, F.S. The adoption of this chapter, in conjunction with proposed amendments to Chapters 62-550, 62-555 and 62-610, 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.

SUMMARY:

Chapter 62-565 will establish the framework for potable reuse, enhanced pretreatment requirements, and permitting of advanced treatment water facilities (ATWF) in Florida. This chapter does not make potable reuse mandatory for utilities. Additionally, only domestic wastewater treatment facilities with a design average daily flow of 0.1 million gallons per day or greater, who have conducted a pilot testing program in accordance with Chapter 62-565, F.A.C., and who can prove they possess technical and managerial capability for long-term compliance with the regulations set forth by department rules and regulations will be allowed to be permitted operate a potable reuse system.
