RELATING TO WATER.

SB 209 prohibits the use of 1 million or more gallons of water annually for recreational or ornamental purposes, such as large decorative fountains, golf course irrigation, or public park features. It directly affects large-scale water users like municipal parks, resorts, and commercial facilities that currently rely on significant non-essential water for aesthetic or leisure activities. The bill sets a clear annual water usage threshold and bans such high-volume non-essential use, aiming to conserve water resources. This bill was introduced on January 13, 2025, and is currently pending referral to committees.
