SUMMARY: Sections 373.709 and 163.3177(6)(c)3, Florida Statutes, require that a local government's water supply and work plan be updated within 18 months after a water management district's governing board approves an updated regional water supply plan. The purpose of the update is to reflect any changes in the regional plan that affect the local water supply and work plan. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) adopted a new regional water supply plan (the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan (LECWSP)) on November 9, 2018. Wellington’s Water Supply Facilities 10-year Work Plan (Work Plan) was recently updated and is consistent with the SFWMD LECWSP. The proposed ordinance adopts the Work Plan, and incorporates it by reference as part of the Infrastructure Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, all Work Plan references in each of the respective elements of the Comprehensive are updated. These elements include the Future Land Use, Conservation, Infrastructure, Intergovernmental, Recreation and Open Space, and Capital Improvements Elements.
