The Department is revising Florida’s Water Well Permitting and Construction rule.

The proposed rule revision will consist of the following:

  • Addition of definitions, addition of the term “coupling(s)” to the water well construction requirements, update the reference to Section 6 of the NSF International Standard, require proper maintenance of a water well worksite during the construction, combine the rule for permitting well construction and repair and the rule for permitting well abandonment into one rule repair, and abandonment of a water well, technical changes for the construction of specific types of driven wells, water well grouting requirements, adoption of permit and well completion report forms, and updates to the water well setback distances.
