These regulations are available on their <br />website www.sjrwmd.com.

She also advised that local governments have the option to adopt an <br />ordinance for their jurisdiction and the local officials would then handle the enforcement of its <br />jurisdiction. If the Board wished to adopt such an ordinance it should be submitted to SJRWMD <br />thirty (30) days prior to adoption. The District has a model ordinance to provide if they want to <br />review it. The desire is to focus on education and enforcement in order to protect our valuable <br />ground water. <br />Questions and discussion ensued during which some Commissioners indicated their <br />reasons for opposing the adoption of an ordinance for Indian River County. <br /> <br />6.
