FL S0202
Bill
AI Summary
- Requires a municipality operating a water or sewer utility that also has a facility located in another municipality (the "recipient municipality") to charge customers in that recipient municipality the same rates, fees, and charges as customers within its own municipal boundaries, eliminating the ability to add surcharges
- Applies only to municipalities located within a county as defined in s. 125.011(1), which refers to Miami-Dade County (counties with a home rule charter adopted before January 1, 1957)
- Defines "facility" to include water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, intake stations, pumping stations, wells, and other physical components, but excludes distribution and collection infrastructure such as pipes, tanks, and conduits
- Preserves the existing general rule allowing municipalities to charge outside-boundary customers a surcharge of up to 25% (or up to 50% above in-boundary rates under certain conditions), except where the new equal-rate requirement applies
- Effective date is July 1, 2025
