Proposed Rule Development for the Water Well
Permitting and Construction Requirements Rule, Chapter 62-532, F.A.C.
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.
This webpage will provide updates on the Department’s rulemaking
development efforts. All stakeholders and interested parties are
