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.
