The bill amends section 180.191 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for municipalities that operate water and sewer utilities outside their boundaries. Specifically, it mandates that municipalities must charge customers in another municipality the same rates, fees, and charges as those charged to consumers within their own municipal boundaries, provided that the recipient municipality has a facility operated by the service provider. This new provision is outlined in a newly added subsection (2) and applies only to municipalities located within a specific county definition.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the existing language, including the re-designation of subsections and the clarification of terms related to water and wastewater treatment facilities. It also specifies that municipalities may add a surcharge of up to 25 percent for services provided outside their boundaries, but the total charges cannot exceed 50 percent more than what is charged to consumers within the municipality. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
