Dear Mr. Yingling:
Statement of Estimated Regulatory

City Water Use Caution Area Rule
We are pleased to submit the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) for the Proposed
Dover / Plant City Water Use Caution Area Rule. As required by Section 120.541, Florida
Statutes (2010), “A statement of estimated regulatory costs shall include:
(a) A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to
comply with the rule, together with a general description of the types of individuals likely
to be affected by the rule.
(b) A good faith estimate of the cost to the agency, and to any other state and local government
entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed rule, and any anticipated
effect on state or local revenues.
(c)
A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and
entities, including local government entities, required to comply with the requirements of
the rule. As used in this paragraph, "transactional costs" are direct costs that are readily
ascertainable based upon standard business practices, and include filing fees, the cost
of obtaining a license, the cost of equipment required to be installed or used or procedures
required to be employed in complying with the rule, additional operating costs incurred,
and the cost of monitoring and reporting.

of the impact on small counties and small cities as defined by s. 120.52.
