Potable Water Sub -Element Indian River County's third major Element is comprised of five (5) sub -elements, which altogether are commonly referred to as an Infrastructure Element. The purpose of the Infrastructure Element is to ensure the availability of wastewater, potable water, solid waste, natural groundwater, and stormwater facilities to meet the existing and projected demands within the County. The Infrastructure Element establishes level of service standards and aims to effectively manage growth and maintain environmental quality while providing safe and adequate facilities for residents and visitors. The second sub -element of the Infrastructure Element is the Potable Water sub -element. A summary of the changes that are proposed for the Potable Water Sub -Element are as follows: 0 Consider disallowing private potable water plants unless the County does not have sufficient capacity 0 Remove the subsection discussing the Water Supply Plan from page 28-29 of the potable water sub -element and replace it with a new objective (Objective 10) to establish a new Supply Plan 0 Move specific standards (e.g. minimum pressure requirements) to the County's code or an appropriate engineering standards document 0 Simplify unnecessarily specific Policies, such as Policy 2.6, for which the recommendation accomplishes the intent of the original Policy but streamlines the Policy for ease of understanding as well as preventing or reducing future text amendments 0 Incorporate recommendations from the Water Management District as it relates to their review of the County's Water Supply Plan Potable water is a vital component of life, and Indian River County must ensure its potable water regulations promote safe and clean systems accessible to all residents and visitors. These recommendations will adhere to modern regulations and water standards. C:\Users\ufc-prod\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@6414E534\@BCL@6414E534.docx 21 27
