Description Graphic

The consumptive use permitting program of the St. Johns River Water Management District includes consumptive use permit (CUP) compliance and enforcement and water shortage plan support and enforcement. The District began permitting consumptive uses of water in 1983. All persons who want to use large amounts of water, except those exempt by statute or District rule, are required to obtain a CUP. Permits for consumptive use are issued for a finite duration and, upon expiration, must be renewed. Since 1991, all water users have been required to report their water use by using a water meter or by an alternative method approved by the District. In 2004, 248 CUPs were issued by the District; there were 3,254 active CUPs at the end of 2004. The Division of Regulatory Information Management provides integrated administrative support through data and document management.
