AI Summary
- Amends s. 180.191, F.S., to require a municipality that operates a water or sewer utility serving customers in another "recipient municipality" where it also maintains a facility to charge those customers the same rates, fees, and charges as consumers within its own boundaries, eliminating the option to add surcharges in that scenario.
- Retains existing law allowing municipalities to add a surcharge of up to 25% on rates for consumers outside municipal boundaries generally, with total charges capped at no more than 50% above what in-boundary consumers pay, except where the new equal-rate requirement applies.
- Defines "facility" to include water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, intake stations, pumping stations, wells, and other physical system components, but excludes distribution pipes, tanks, pumps, and wastewater collection conduits.
- Applies only to municipalities located within a county as defined in s. 125.011(1), which is Miami-Dade County.
- Takes effect July 1, 2025.
