Who permits a potable water system in Florida?
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection permits public water system construction, alongside the local utility and the county or municipal review authority.
Potable Water Treatment and Distribution Systems
Potable water is any water safe to drink or to use in food preparation. Designing the system that delivers it is a permitting exercise as much as a hydraulic one.
What is included
- Distribution main layout and hydraulic sizing
- Service connections and metering
- Treatment and storage coordination
- Regulatory agency coordination and permit applications
- Construction Observations during construction
What we design
Potable water, also known as drinking water, is any water that is safe to drink or to use in food preparation. We are experienced in the design of potable water systems, from distribution mains through service connections.
We meet with the necessary regulatory agencies and prepare site drawings, permit applications, documents, and specifications. Each set of drawings includes the plans and details specific to that project, and we assist the owner in applying for and obtaining the required regulatory permits.
During construction
During construction we provide documentation and engineering assistance, which includes Construction Observations and reporting, answering contractor questions, and enforcing the technical specifications.
