Public Rulemaking Workshop - Chapters 62-550, 62-555 and 62-650, F.A.C.

DEP is hosting a rule development workshop to which all persons are invited. This rule development workshop will allow DEP to discuss and receive public input on draft amendments to Chapter 62-550, F.A.C., Drinking Water Standards, Monitoring and Reporting, Chapter 62-555, F.A.C., Permitting, Construction, Operation and Maintenance of Public Water Systems, and Chapter 62-560, F.A.C., Requirements for Public Water Systems That Are Out of Compliance. The proposed revisions will adopt requirements that public water systems must meet for the control of lead and copper in drinking water, consistent with 2024 updates to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Regulations under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 141 Subpart I.
