Attorney Brandenburg made the point that you want to _ have your plant available for people who need it immediately and who are not hoarding it for speculating.

Under this, he wished to change C. to read "All sprinkler systems shall be inspected and approved by the County Building Department before initial operation," and add a Paragraph D. "All wells shall be inspected by the County Health Department upon payment of such a fee as established by the Board of County Commissioners." He further noted that we want to include language specifying that wells shall be installed in accordance with the Florida Safe Water Drinking Act and the DER, and the DHRS, or St. John's River Water Management regulations." Commissioner Wodtke asked if this is all wells used for sprinkler systems - what about wells in agricultural areas? Director Pinto stated that the Utility Department's concern is only that when the well is drilled and there is an irrigation system that there is no cross connection with the potable water system. Chairman Scurlock asked why we can't put in the ordinance that it is prohibitive to connect to the system without a.backflow preventer device. Director Pinto noted that this ordinance refers to a Resolution that will set those type of standards. There are specific state requirements for backflow prevention. We just want to assure as far as utilities go there is no cross connection. Attorney Brandenburg recommended that we qualify his proposed language as "all residential sprinkler systems will be inspected.,..." and change Paragraph D to "all potable water wells will be inspected......" -.-.
