Tap water must still be tested once
a year for bacteria. Faucets must
be clearly labeled "Not approved
for drinking." The HRS staff will
do an inspection once per year.
Both types of public water systems
listed above must have bacteria and
chemical tests performed. This ensures
that the water is safe to use.
3. A Private Water System serves
three or four non -rental homes.
These systems must have a
bacteria and chemical test done
once after being built. A
construction permit from HRS is
also required. Applications should
be submitted to your County
Public Health Unit.
Private systems serving less than
three non -rental homes do not
need to apply for a building permit
or test their water. They do have
to meet rules for well placement
distance from septic tanks and
other major sources of pollution.
These rules make sure the public has a
safe source of drinking water. When an
unsafe chemical is found in the water,
the state may, in some cases, install a
free filter or pay for connecting to a city
system.
A system owner who believes these
rules are too strict could have a valid
reason for not meeting the rule. He or
she may apply for a variance. HRS will
review the variance and decide what to
do, based on water safety factors.
Some cities and counties in Florida have
other rules for water systems that also
must be followed. Regional Water
Management Districts issue permits to
construct wells that provide water to
these systems. Your CPHU can assist
you with local rules and well permits.
Your HRS County Public Health Unit
staff looks forward to working with you
to make sure that the water in Florida is
safe to drink.

Drinking Water Systems
Many places in the United States have a
problem supplying enough water to the
people living there. Because we live in
Florida, we are lucky to have a plentiful
source of ground water. Ground water
wells supply over ninety-two percent of
the water we need to drink, bathe, flush
toilets, wash laundry and water our
lawns. Harmful chemicals and bacteria
that may cause disease have been found
in some wells in Florida. Chemicals
have gotten into ground water because
of leaking gasoline storage tanks, and
ignorance or disregard for pouring
chemicals 'but the back door".
Bacteria gets into drinking water mainly
from poor well construction.
Under a new law, The Florida Depart-
ment of Health and Rehabilitative
Services Environmental Health Section
has looked at these problems and found
solutions. They will use a rule called
Drinking Water Systems, or IOD -4,
Florida Administrative Code. It lists the
best way to build small public water
systems and some private systems. The
rule applies to water systems serving
less than twenty-five people each day.
This new rule lists safe levels of
chemicals and bacteria in drinking
water. The rule also states the best way
to test water and correct any problems
found. The following three types of
water systems are covered:
1. A Limited Use Community Public
Water System is one that serves
two or more rental residences or
five or more non -rental homes.
This could include:
• a triplex with two rental units in it,
• two rental mobile homes,
• at least five homes connected tc
the same water system.
• a small group care facility.
This type of system must have a
permit before being built. The
HRS County Public Health Unit
(CPHU) will review your
application package to make sure
the system complies with the rule.
Results from water tests must be
given to HRS before the system
can be used.
HRS staff will inspect all systems.
They will look for violations and
will give the owner information on
water sampling. Permits are
issued yearly by HRS.
System owners must provide HRS
bacterial test results every three
months and chemical test results
every three years. If the water is
not safe, steps must be taken to
correct the problem. A state
certified operator has to service
the system once a week if the
water is disinfected. The owner
can do this when he or she gets
certified.
2. A Limited Use Commercial
Public Water System is one that
serves any nonresidential building.
These include:
• stores that have employees at the
site or
• stores that have public access.
New systems must get a permit
before being built. All systems
must get a new operating permit
every year. You can get
application information from your
County Public Health Unit.
Commercial systems have to
repeat bacteria tests every three
months and chemical tests every
five years.
Some owners of a commercial
water system may not wish to
repeat testing. These owners must
then provide bottled water for
employees and patrons to drink.
Owners still have to get an annual
operating permit from HRS and

RE: EXISTING LIMITED USE COMMERCIAL PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
Dear supplier of water:
Changes to Florida Statute 381.0062 by the 1991 Florida
Legislature, has mandated the Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services (HRS) to supervise small public water
systems. The legislative intent is to establish standards for
new and existing drinking water systems that fall below the
threshold regulated by the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act
(Chapter 403, Part VI, F.S.).
To facilitate the legislative mandate, HRS has created
Chapter 1OD-4, F.A.C., Drinking Water Systems, effective
January 1, 1993. The rule prescribes minimum criteria for the
construction, water quality testing and permit fees for all
small public water systems.
A Limited Use Commercial Public Water System is a system
which serves one or more non-residential establishments with
piped potable water. These would include a retail or
wholesale facility that has employees at the site or relies
on public patronage. All existing Limited Use Commercial
Public Water Systems in Indian River County are required to
obtain an annual operating permit through the Department of
HRS -Indian River County Public Health Unit, Environmental
Health Section. Routine quarterly bacteria tests are
required. Chemical tests every five years are also prescribed
by rule.
Please note that this is a water quality rule first. If an
existing system meets potable quality criteria, then with few
exceptions, no changes to the system are necessary. The only
exceptions include meeting a minimum pressure (20 psi) and
the absence of cross connections. If the water quality is
non -potable, the rule specifies corrective actions to be
taken.

Page Two
Some owners of existing Limited Use Commercial Public Water
Systems may not wish to conduct the required routine water
testing. These owners must then provide bottled water from a
state permitted bottler for employees and patrons to drink.
This type of water system still requires an annual operating
permit from the Department.
The Department has enclosed additional information to assist
you in complying with Chapter 1OD-4, F.A.C.. Carefully read
over the attached information and choose the type of system
that is appropriate. The Department requires that all
existing Limited Use Commercial Public Water Systems submit
an application for operation with the appropriate fee prior
to March 31, 1993. These annual operating permits shall be
for the first half year of operation. All operation permits
expire annually on September 30 and must be renewed prior to
October 1 of each year. No person, company, or corporation
shall own or operate a Limited Use Commercial Public Water
System without a valid annual operation permit from this
Department.
The Department hopes the information proves to be useful. If
you have any questions regarding this rule please contact
Mr. Glenn Schuessler, Mr. Reid Hawkins, or myself at the
above phone numbers. Copies of Chapter 10D-4, F.A.C. will be
available upon request at the Environmental Health front
counter. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Drinking Water Systems Brochure
Florida citizens are fortunate to have an inexpensive, yet
readily available source of drinking water for their wells
in the shallow aquifers under the ground. These aquifers
supply over 92% of the state's population the water needed
to drink, bathe, flush toilets, wash laundry and irrigate
yards. Recent testing of the water quality in many of these
aquifers around the state has revealed the presence of
potentially disease causing chemicals. These chemicals have
contaminated the groundwater through poor management, leaks,
and illicit disposal. Bacterial contamination of water wells
has also occurred due to poor construction or placement too
near sewage sources.
The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services
Environmental Health section was directed to address these
problems recently by the Legislature in changes to Chapter
381.0062, Florida Statutes. HRS adopted a rule that
prescribes minimum criteria for the construction and water
quality testing of small public and certain private water
systems. You are affected by this rule and law if you
consume water that is provided by a regulated system or you
own or operate this type of water system. Read the following
definitions of water systems to determine the state
requirements for yours.
A Limited Use Community Public Water Svstem is one that
serves two or more rental residences or five or more
nonrental residences. Examples include a triplex with two
units rented, a mobile home park with two units rented, or a
subdivision with at least five houses connected to a common
water system. This system must be permitted prior to
construction, then new and existing systems must submit
water quality data and other pertinent information for the
department to approve its use. The department's county
public health unit staff will conduct an inspection of the
system and provide the owner with information on sampling
the water. An annual operating permit will be issued by the
department. After approval, the system owner must submit the
results of bacteria tests quarterly and chemical tests every
three years. If disinfection is required, the department
will require that a state certified operator attend the
system one visit per week.
LAWTON CHILES. GOVERNOR
A Limited Use Commercial Public Water System is one that
serves any nonresidential establishment. These would include
a retail or wholesale facility that has employees at the site
or relies on public patronage. These new systems will be
permitted for construction and all systems must obtain an
annual operating permit. Quarterly bacteria tests and a
chemical test every five years is required of the system.
Both types of new public systems must conduct a ten day
bacteria clearance survey of the well to assure that
disinfection is not necessary.
A Private Water System serves three or four nonrental
residences and must only conduct a bacteria test and
chemical test one time upon completion of construction.
A construction permit from the department is required.
Private systems serving one or two houses are not required
to apply for a construction permit, but must meet well
setbacks to pollution sources.
These requirements are intended to provide the public with
a safe and adequate source of drinking water. The county
public health unit of the Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services can and will provide you with
assistance in assuring the safety of your drinking water.
Should a system owner find that provisions of the rule
are too restrictive, he may apply for a variance. Each
application will be judged on its merits and the likelihood
that a water borne disease will result.
