Water resource means any and all water on or beneath the surface of the ground, including
natural or artificial watercourses, lakes, ponds, or diffused surface water, and water percolating,
standing, or flowing beneath the surface of the ground.
Water shortage condition is when sufficient water is not available to meet present or anticipated
needs of persons using the water resource, or when conditions are such as to require temporary
reduction in total water usage within a particular area to protect the water resource from serious
harm. A water shortage usually occurs due to drought.
Water shortage emergency means that situation when the powers which can be exercised under
Florida Administrative Code, part II, of chapter 40E -21, are not sufficient to protect the public
health, safety or welfare or the health of animals, fish or aquatic life, or a public water supply, or
commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational or other reasonable uses.
(c) Application of this section.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all persons using the water resource within the
geographical areas subject to the water shortage or water shortage emergency as determined by
the district, whether from public or privately owned water utility systems, private wells, or
private connections with surface water bodies. This chapter shall not apply to persons using
treated effluent or salt water.
(d) Amendments to water shortage plan.
The Florida Administrative Code, chapter 40E -21 is incorporated herein by reference as a part of
this Code.

The City adopted a new system for code enforcement fines in August 1999. The new system
established a "courtesy notice" provision where homeowners are provided an opportunity to
remedy a code enforcement problem without paying a fine. Acceptance of and compliance with
this system has been excellent.
During the FY 2002-03 budget process the Administration performed an evaluation of recurring
revenue sources. It was agreed that certain fees would require adjustment in order to be
comparable to other municipalities.
A review of the City's code enforcement charges warranted minor adjustments. Specifically, the
fines for several categories of serious violations or repetitious violators are below standard
levels.
Approval is recommended.
* The ordinance was adopted by the City Commission on first reading at its January 7, 2003
meeting.

The drought and subsequent water shortage of2OO7 are the result ofpersistent
low rainfall dating back to2DDG. which ranked as the sixth-driest year cm record in
terms of District-wide rainfall. The trend continued through the first three months of
2DO7. The U.G. Drought Monitor, which identifies general drought areas by
intensity, has recently categorized all areas of the District as either moderate or
severe drought zones with a prediction of possible drought intensification. Since
its inception, the District has never experienced a drought this severe.
The water level bl Lake Okeechobee, a bellwether measurement ofthoDisthct's
water supply, is more than four feet below its historical average for this time of
year, The District will not be able to use Lake Okeechobee aaa back-up water
supply source for residents in the Lower East Coast. In addition, lake levels
throughout the Kissimmee Chair! of Lakes are well below normal, creating
possible problems for boaters and potentially impacting the regional ecology, in

'Despite some recent rains, serious drought conditions persist throughout the
region. Select wells in the Upper East Coast and Lower West Coast are
approaching levels recorded during the 2O0O/2801 donught in response, the
Governing Board expanded the current water use restrictions at today's meeting.
The new restrictions become effective tomorrow, April 13. for all areas. See Area
Water Restrictions
'Based onU.S. Army Corps of Engineers criteria, the District cut-off water
withdrawals from the Everglades Water Conservation Areas for local drainage
districts in the Lower East Coast Service Area, which comprises Palm Beach,
Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. This equates to 600 million gallons
per day that no longer will be available to residents of the Lower East Coast.
"The District requested from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers emergency,
temporary deviations for Water Conservation Areas 1, 2A and 3A, allowing the
water levels in these areas to temporarily drop below the floor elevations
mandated by the current regulation schedule levels. The goal is to move water
east, if needed, not for water supply heeds but to prevent saltwater intrusion and
possible contamination of public water supply wellfields in the Lower East Coast
'The District installed 1Oof14submerged temporary forward pumps, which are
used to draw water out of the lake for water supply needs when levels fall below
1O.2 feet. The pumps provide limited ability to move water out ofLake
Okeechobee for local irrigation, but they cannot help replenish Lower East Coast
water supplies. When the lake drops to this level, it becomes difficult to deliver
water to downstream users because gravity can no longer effective}y'move
enough water through existing control structures.
"The District's Emergency Operations Center has been activated and is now
operating continuously. The full-time team staffing the Emergency Operations
Centerioentibipatn0aUpoasib|esUusdionsandtakinQproectiveepproeches.An
part of its emergency operations, the District developed special situation teams to
address the concerns of specific user gnoupe. impacts to the local cena|
infroetructuna, and unique residential conoerno, among others.
"The District also is anticipating numerous calls and ennailsfnom local residents as
they observe changes in their neighborhood canals and impacts on the local
wildlife. The District's Citizen Information Line now operates daily with a full-time
staff of four team members trained to answer such questions as well as provide
useful water conservation tips and apenifio\waternaatriotion information. For
additional information, area residents are encouraged to call the District's toll-free
Water Shortage Hotline at 1-800-662-8876 or contact their regional District service
center. Helpful water conservation tips and specific information on current water
use restrictions are available at .
'The District has increased monitoring and compliance activities with District-
permitted major water users - agriculture, golf courses, etc. The District is relying
on our local government partners to enforce restrictions in the community, and
have held a series of water shortage compliance workshops for local government
officials in Monroe, K8iami-Oade. Browerd. Lee, Collier, Hendry, Okeechobee and

The Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District
(hereinafter "District"), after considering recommendations of District staff and being
otherwise fully apprised of the matter, issues this Order pursuant to Sections 373.083,
373.175 and 373.246, Florida Statutes ("F.S.") and Chapter 4011-21, Florida
Administrative Code ("F.A.C."), based on the following Findings of Fact and Ultimate
Facts and Conclusions of Law.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On March 15, 2007, the Governing Board issued Water Shortage- Order
No. 2007-034-DAO-WS. That Order, which became effective on March 22, 2007,
imposed modified Moderate Phase I Restrictions, pursuant to Chapter 40E-21. F.A.C.
A copy of Order No. 2007-034-DAO-WS is available at www.sfwmd.gov or from the
District Clerk.
2. The water sources subject to this Order are the Surficial Aquifer and
surface waters within the following water use basins: the Lower East Coast Region
particularly described as the Interior Palm Beach County Water Use Basin,
Loxahatchee River Water Use Basin, C-18 Water Use Basin, North Palm Beach County
Water Use Basin, M-Canal Water Use Basin, Water Conservation Area 1/West Palm
Beach Canal Water Use Basin, Water Conservation Area 2 Water Use Basin, Water
Conservation Area 3 Water Use Basin, and the South Dade Water Use Basin, and the
Water Conservation Areas/Everglades National Park Water Conservation
Areas/Everglades National Park Water Use Basin as depicted on the attached and
incorporated Exhibit A. These Basins are within Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-
Dade, and Monroe Counties. However, the Town of Highland Beach in Palm Beach
County shall not be subject to this Order due to 100 percent use of Floridan Aquifer
water to serve the needs of the users in this community.
3. All water use classes identified in Rule 40E-21.651, F.A.C., within the
above Basins are subject to this Order, except for Diversion and Impoundment
permitted uses which are subject to water shortage restrictions pursuant to Emergency
Water Shortage Order 2007-054-DAO-WS issued on April 4, 2007.
4. Since the effective date of Order No. 2007-034-DAO-WS, the water
resource concerns described in that Order have intensified. Deficit rainfall has
significantly contributed to the current low water levels in the Water Conservation Areas
2
("WCAs") and Lake Okeechobee. District meteorologists have recorded a total of only
6.03 inches of District-wide rainfall from November 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007.
During the first three months of 2007, only 2.62 inches of rain has fallen District-wide-,
this is 35 percent of the historical average for the three-month period ending March 31,
2007. The 2007 dry season currently ranks as the third driest hydrologic season in
recorded south Florida history.
5. The WCAs, west of the Lower East Coast, are relied upon as the primary
source of water to the Lower East Coast during the dry season in order to provide
groundwater recharge, saltwater intrusion prevention and recharge of public drinking
water wellfields. Historically deliveries have averaged up to 500 million gallons per day
during the dry season, and are higher during April and May. If the fresh groundwater
level declines, a significant potential for saltwater intrusion into the Lower East Coast
Region's surficial, fresh water aquifers exists. If a public water supply wellfield becomes
contaminated with saltwater, it may no longer be used to provide drinking water without
desalinization treatment. Moreover, once a wellfield experiences saltwater intrusion,
recovery is uncertain and can take many years for the saltwater front to be pushed
seaward.
6. Water availability in the WCAs is well below average for this time of year.
As of April 11, 2007, the level in WCA 1 was 14.27 feet NGVD, the level in WCA 2 was
10.42 feet NGVD, and the level in WCA 3A was 8.33 feet NGVD.
7. Water outflows from the WCAs to the Lower East Coast are regulated by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Water Control Manual for the Water Conservation
Areas and Everglades National Park ("regulation schedule"). Minimum levels in the
3
WCAs identified in the regulation schedules are 14 feet NGVD for WCA 1, 10.5 feet
NGVD for WCA 2, and 7.5 feet NGVD for WCA 3. As a result, WCA 2 has fallen below
its minimum levels. WCA 1 is fast approaching its minimum level and WCA 3A is
projected to fall below its minimum level within the next few weeks.
8. Lake Okeechobee has historically provided back-up water supplies to the
Lower East Coast when WCA water storage is depleted. However, the water level in
Lake Okeechobee is also below its historical average (1992-2000) for this time of the
year, and about 4 feet lower than it. was in 2005 and 2006. As of April 11, 2007, the
level of Lake Okeechobee was 10.07 feet NGVD. Water users of Lake Okeechobee
and surface water connected to the lake have been under water shortage restrictions
since November 16, 2006, when Modified Phase I restrictions were imposed. On March
15, 2007, these restrictions were increased to Modified Phase 11, or 30 percent
cutbacks. These restrictions were increased to Modified Phase III, or 45 percent
cutbacks, on April 12, 2007 for specific sub-Basins within the Lake Okeechobee Service
Area.
9. - The back up source for the WCAs is Lake Okeechobee. Temporary
forward pumps have been installed at structures conveying water south of Lake
Okeechobee since gravity flows at such levels cannot occur. These pumps have
significantly limited capacities for delivering water south, and will primarily be relied
upon to provide water to the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) at reduced levels far
below its normal irrigation demand for this time of year. Due to the very limited pump
capacities and the large amount of conveyance losses that occur as the water is
transported many miles from the Lake to the coast, it is nearly physically impossible to
0
use the temporary forward pumps to move water supplies to the Lower East Coast. In
order to make even the most minimal deliveries to the coast, all water supplies to the
agricultural interests would need to be terminated until the coastal delivery is complete.
Terminating water supply deliveries to the EAA in order to make very minimal coastal
deliveries would result in substantial economic and social impacts to the area.
10. Once the WCA minimum levels are exceeded, as has occurred already in
WCA 2A, water deliveries to the Lower East Coast are restricted to the volume imported
from secondary sources. If another upstream source, which has historically been Lake
Okeechobee, is not available when a WCA level falls below the minimum, then water
supply deliveries to the Basins cannot be made from that WCA, unless the Corps
approves a temporary deviation from their regulation schedule. However, even if the
Corps approves the deviation requests. the amount of water made available to deliver to
the urban areas from the WCAs will be extremely limited and must be judiciously
managed.
11. As a result of lack of water availability from Lake Okeechobee and the
WCAs, the District has formally requested temporary deviations from the minimum
levels in WCA 1, 2A and 3A be issued by the Corps. The Corps has indicated that the
timeline for action on the deviation requests could be as long as four to six weeks. The
District is continuing to work with the Corps to expedite this deviation process to the
maximum extent practical, which may include the need for emergency actions if
groundwater levels in the Lower East Coast begin to decline to the extent groundwater
sources are threatened from saltwater intrusion.
5
12. The current low rainfall conditions are projected to persist through the
remainder of the 2007 dry season, and potentially beyond, and during this time period
the primary and secondary water supply sources in these areas, including Lake
Okeechobee and the WCAs, are projected to further decline.
13. Most of the recharge to the Lower East Coast occurs within secondary
canal systems operated by 298 districts within Browatd and Palm Beach Counties,
which fall within the Diversion and Impoundment Use Class. These entities are charged
with operating these canal systems to provide recharge to public water supply wellfields
and water supplies to agricultural and other irrigation users. As a separate measure to
conserve water, on April 4, 2007, the District imposed acute emergency water shortage
restrictions on these Diversion and Impoundment permitted users prohibiting all
withdrawals from the WCAs unless specifically authorized by the District, pursuant to
Emergency Water Shortage Order 2007-054 DAO-WS.
14. With no reliable water supply available to the coastal basins from Lake
Okeechobee, and with the water supply from the WCAs nearing depletion, the threat of
saltwater intrusion into coastal wellfields which provide drinking water to the people of
Southeast Florida continues to escalate. And with weather forecasts calling for
continued below average rainfall, and few alternative sources available for immediate
application, additional water use cutbacks are warranted for the affected Basins.
15. Some public water supply utilities within the affected Basins operate
interconnected wellfields in both coastal and inland areas in accordance with welffield
operational plans contained in consumptive use permit conditions. It may be possible to
minimize, delay, and / or avoid inland movement of the saltwater front by increasing
R
withdrawals from the inland wellfields and decreasing withdrawals from coastal
wellfields. Shifting pumpage location may result in temporary, for the duration of this
Order, exceedence of withdrawal limitations imposed in specific consumptive use
permits. Due to the short-term, temporary nature of any such shifting and the potential
ability to positively influence the factors contributing to movement of the saltwater front,
it is appropriate for withdrawals to shift inland, even if permit withdrawal limitations are
temporarily exceeded.
16. The District finds that an emergency declaration is required to address the
need for immediate action.
ULTIMATE FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
17. Pursuant to'Section 373.083, F.S., the Governing Board is authorized to
issue orders to implement the provisions of Chapter 373, F.S., including emergency
orders pursuant to Section 120.569(2)(n), F.S. Sections 373.175 and 373.246, F.S..
specifically authorize the Governing Board to issue orders declaring the existence of a
water shortage.
18. Section 373.246, F.S., authorizes the Governing Board to adopt a water
shortage plan to regulate the withdrawal and use of water so as to protect the water
resources of the District. Chapter 40E-21, F.A.C., is the water shortage plan adopted
by the Governing Board.
19. Pursuant to Rule 40E- 1.611, F.A.C., an emergency exists when
immediate action is necessary to protect, public health, safety, welfare; the health of
animals, fish or aquatic life; the works of the District; a public water supply, or
a
recreational, commercial, industrial, agricultural or other reasonable uses of land and
water resources.
20. Based on the findings recited above and pursuant to Sections 373.175 and
373.246, F.S., it is hereby concluded that emergency conditions exist that pose an
immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare and requires an immediate order
of the District to protect the public health, safety or welfare.
21. A declaration of water shortage and any provision or restriction adopted
pursuant thereto under the water shortage plan may be modified by the Board pursuant
to Rule 40E-21.291, F.A.C. Rule 40E-21.271, F.A.C., recognizes the restrictions
contained in Part V of Chapter 40E-21, F.A.C., are general water use restrictions and
also authorizes the Governing Board to order any combination of restrictions in lieu of or
in addition to those in Part V. Chapter 40E-21, F.A.C.
22. The Districfs standard consumptive use permit conditions require, in
general, compliance with any District Water Shortage Order.
23. Rule 40E-21.401, F.A.C., and permit conditions, authorize the Governing
Board to obtain data concerning monitoring of water usage.
24. The District has monitored the condition of the water resources and the
needs of the users.
25. Based on the cumulative assessment of water availability in Lake
Okeechobee, the WCAs, and climate forecasts, it is projected that sufficient water will
not be available in the regional system to meet anticipated demands without further
mandatory restrictions on water usage within the affected Basins. The rapid decline in
surface water levels in the regional system, the potential for groundwater level declines,
H.
and the present and projected water demands in the Basins require the imposition of
increased mandatory water shortage restrictions.
26. Considering the above findings of fact, it is necessary to declare a
water shortage, imposing Modified Phase 11 Severe Water Shortage Restrictions for all
use classes, except the diversion and impoundment permitted use class, withdrawing
water from the Surficial Aquifer and the surface waters within the affected Basins within
Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. The Phase 11
restrictions identified in Rule 40E-21.531, F.A.C., and as modified by this Order, are
geared toward achieving the goal of a 30 percent cutback in overall demand. Diversion
and impoundment permitted users are subject to restrictions imposed by a separate
Emergency Water Shortage Order 2007-054DAO-WS.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, Ultimate Facts and Conclusions of Law,
the Governing Board orders that:
27. Modified Phase 11 Severe Water Shortage restrictions are imposed on all
use classes, except for diversion and impoundment permitted users, that withdraw
water from the Sufficial Aquifer or the surface waters within the affected Basins as
depicted in the attached Exhibit A. In addition, the Town of Highland Beach in Palm
Beach County shall not be subject to this Order. A copy of the Modified Phase 11
Severe Water Shortage Restrictions, is attached as Exhibit B.
28. Information regarding this Order is posted on the District's Internet Web
Site at,,Aww.sfwmd.gov, and will be communicated on a water "user hotline" for persons
that do not have access to the Internet or have additional questions for District staff.
9
29. Permitted water users are requested to continue submitting water usage
monitoring data in accordance with permit conditions. The Director of the Water Use
Regulation Division is authorized to request, in writing, those permitted water users
whose permit conditions require submittal of water usage monitoring data to provide
additional data or data submittals at increased frequencies, as determined appropriate.
30. A user may request relief from this Order by filing an application for
variance in accordance with Rule 40E-21.275, F.A.C.., but must conform to the water
use restrictions until the Executive Director grants a temporary variance or the
Governing Board grants a variance.
31. Variances previously granted from Order No. 2007-034-DAO-WS will
continue to be effective under this Order. Variances shall expire upon a declaration by
the Governing Board that a water shortage in the affected areas no longer exists,
thereby rescinding this Order and Order No. 2007-034-DAO-WS, or when a more
restrictive water declaration is made in the affected areas (unless otherwise provided in
such water shortage declaration).
32. Permitted public water supply utilities who have coastal and inland
wellfields are encouraged. to the extent practical and for the duration of this Order, to
shift their pumpage to inland welifields, even if such shifting results in the temporary
exceedence of consumptive use permit limits on specific well allocations.
33. The Governing Board requests that every city and county commission,
state and county attorney, sheriff, police officer and other appropriate local government
official Within the boundaries of Exhibit A assist in the implementation and enforcement
of this Water Shortage Order. The District staff Will cooperate with the local
i1c
governments in implementing such enforcement measures.
34. This Order imposing modified Phase 11 Severe Water Shortage
Restrictions, shall become effective on April 13, 2007 and shall remain in effect until
modified or rescinded by the Governing Board, or the Executive Director, if the
circumstances set forth in Subsection 40E-21.291(5)t F.A.C., are present.
