Service Description: The objective of this project, the Florida Water Management Inventory, is to establish a statewide data set of drinking water sources and wastewater disposal methods for parcels. The inventory is expected to be updated annually as new information becomes available, and to account for population growth and new residential, commercial, and infrastructure construction. Information about drinking water sources and wastewater treatment methods are vital for disaster preparedness and response activities, local planning evaluations, and environmental risk assessments. These activities relate to environmental health and the protection of public health by detecting and preventing disease caused by natural and manmade factors in the environment. Multiple state and local agencies across the State of Florida gather information about drinking water sources and wastewater treatment methods; however, historic data gathering methods have been fragmented. This results in the lack of readily accessible information to evaluate impacts to Florida’s water quality and quantity. Nonpoint source pollution from onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems (OSTDS) can have significant impacts on surface water and groundwater quality. Approximately thirty percent of Florida’s population uses an OSTDS as their method of wastewater disposal (FDOH website). Electronic permitting data records for OSTDS, which have been collected by the Florida Department of Health since the late 1990’s, do not include a record for every OSTDS in the state (Hall and Clancy 2008). Systems are added to the statewide database when there is new construction, a system is in failure and needs repair, a system modification is required, the existing system needs approval to proceed with state or local building requirements, or when the existing system is abandoned. Not having a comprehensive and updateable inventory utilizing best available information has made it difficult to assess the potential impacts from this nonpoint pollution source.

Description: This data set shows the drinking water source and domestic (household) wastewater disposal method for parcel polygons for each of the 67 counties in the state of Florida, based on information gathered from utilities, state and local government, and other entities that have functions related to drinking water or wastewater. Each parcel is assigned a value for wastewater (sewer or septic) and drinking water (public or private well) based on the information that was gathered and processed from multiple sources. The wastewater and drinking water values are further assigned a qualifier of Known, Likely, and Somewhat Likely based on factors related to the level of certainty for the source information. For example, a service address provided by a utility will be considered 'Known' while the listed wastewater method on a business permit for a food establishment will be deemed to be 'Likely' or 'Somewhat Likely'. Information provided by utilities was considered current, as was permit information related to business establishments. Permit information related to septic systems and private domestic drinking water wells generally ranges from the late 1990s onward. The parcels and associated real property data were downloaded from the State of Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) for the tax assessment years of 2013 and 2014.
