RELATING TO WATER.

SB 209 prohibits the use of 1,000,000 or more gallons of water annually for recreational or ornamental purposes, such as maintaining decorative fountains, golf course landscaping, or public park features. It directly affects large water users like resorts, golf courses, and municipal parks that rely on significant water volumes for non-essential aesthetic or leisure activities. The bill establishes a clear annual usage threshold, requiring these entities to reduce or eliminate water consumption above this limit for specified purposes. The bill is currently pending in committee review for the 2026 legislative session.
