Management District (SFWMD)water use permit (WUP)
o This well is currently permitted on a VOT owned parcel across the street and railroad from the
water treatment plant.This site is not ideal as it would have to be accessed through an FEC lease.
We are exploring the possibility of repermitting the well on the water plant property.This will
depend on the water quality in this area.
o A purchase order has been issued to Florida Design Drilling to complete test well drilling on the
water plant site. They have mobilized and completed drilling of the test well. Water quality
testing is underway. Pictures from drilling are below.
o A meeting with SFWMD will be coordinated to discuss relocation of this well and increasing the
capacity of well SA24 which is very low in PFAS concentrations.
