Water is one of Florida's most important resources.
The goal of the Department of Health is to develop and enforce programs that reduce the risk of disease and illness from the water that you drink and use for swimming and recreation. The Bureau of Water Programs has prepared an Interactive Drinking Water Systems Manual containing information on drinking water system risks and regulations. Regulations and forms concerning drinking water can be downloaded below. You may also want to visit the swimming pool and bathing areas site on the dropdown menu above to download regulations on these facilities and activities. There are also links on the drop down menu to red tide and beach water quality.
