This bill amends section 180.191 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for municipalities operating water and sewer utilities. It mandates that municipalities charge customers in another municipality the same rates, fees, and charges as those charged to consumers within their own boundaries, provided that the recipient municipality has a facility for water or sewer services. The bill also includes a definition of terms related to water and wastewater treatment facilities and specifies that this requirement applies only to municipalities located within certain counties.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the existing language, including the re-designation of subsections and the removal of certain phrases. For instance, it clarifies that municipalities may add a surcharge of up to 25 percent for consumers outside their boundaries, but this does not apply when the same rates are charged to customers in the recipient municipality. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
