City Water Use Caution Area. This equipment is critical to provide timely data during freeze events,<br />

when groundwater pumping in the area for frost protection can generate severe short term impacts.<br />

Other trends in regulation include continuing progress in online permitting. Over 90 percent of well<br />

construction permit applications are submitted online. The trend for Water Use Permit (WUP) and<br />

Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) applications is positive, with over 50 percent of those<br />

applications submitted online in May 2013. The District continues to work closely with the other water<br />

management districts and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on statewide permit<br />

consistency initiatives for both WUPs and ERPs. The rulemaking activities are nearing completion and<br />

the new rules are scheduled to go into effect in the fall of 2013.<br />

<strong>Budget</strong> Variances:<br />

The overall increase of 3.7 percent or $719,624 for this program is primarily due to increased funding<br />

for the installation of equipment ($592,912) and meter reimbursements ($89,550) for the Dover/Plant<br />

City Automatic Meter Reading project to reflect the projected number of meters to be issued during<br />

fiscal year 2013-14, a full year of implementation.<br />
