Description: Well Construction permitting data shows locational information about some of the wells permitted by the District. The Water Resources Act of 1972 gave the Northwest Florida Water Management District the responsibility to protect, conserve and manage the ground waters in northwest Florida from Escambia County to western Jefferson County. As required by law, the District initiated regulation of the construction, repair and abandonment of all water wells. Those regulations, found in Chapter 40A-3, Florida Administrative Code (www.nwfwmd.state.fl.us/permits/rules/ch40A3.pdf), require permits for all wells, establish minimum well construction standards and conduct inspections and enforcement. Spatial distribution of wells help permitting personnel determine whether the construction of proposed well will be according to the Florida Statutes. For example, whether it will adversely affect the ground/surface water resources or will be close to a ground water contamination area. The spatial data provided may only represent a small fraction of the existing wells. The data represents the records for well construction/repair/abandonment permitted beginning in the year 1976 so does not contain data on wells constructed prior to 1976. The location information may have been provided by the well contractor or owner and may not have been verified by the District. Please keep these limitations in mind when using the data.
Description: This data set shows the drinking water source and domestic (household) wastewater disposal method for parcel derived points, based on information gathered from utilities, state and local government, and other entities that have functions related to drinking water or wastewater. Each point is assigned a value for wastewater (septic) and drinking water (private well) based on the information that was gathered and processed from multiple sources. The wastewater and drinking water values are further assigned a qualifier of Known, Likely, and Somewhat Likely based on factors related to the level of certainty for the source information.

Description: This dataset contains the location of limited use drinking water facilities in Florida. This includes Limited Use Public Water Systems (public water systems which are not covered by the Safe Drinking Water Act), multi-family water systems, and private water systems. Definitions for these systems and statutory authorization are found in section 381.0062 of the Florida Statutes.
Description: This dataset consists of information and locations relating to all privately and publicly owned potable wells investigated as part of the State Underground Petroleum Environmental Response Act (SUPER Act) program. Environmental Engineering staff identify all private water wells within mile, and all public drinking water wells within mile of potential petroleum contamination sources. The data contains information about the owners, addresses and geographic coordinates of the wells.
Description: The dataset consists of information relating to petroleum and drycleaning facilities investigated as part of the State Underground Petroleum Environmental Response Act Program (SUPER ACT), and Drycleaning Solvent Surveillance Program (DSSP).
