   The City Manager shall have the authority to permit a reasonable use of water in any case necessary to maintain adequate health and sanitation standards as set forth in the Brevard County Health Code.

POTABLE WATER WELLFIELD PROTECTION CODE
§ 181.130 PURPOSE.
   The primary purpose of this subchapter is to reduce the risk to human health associated with contaminated drinking water. The quantity and quality of water available for use as a public water supply is directly related to land activities. Presently, a majority of the city's residents obtain their potable water supply from wells that pump water from a shallow aquifer. This aquifer is recharged by rainfall that occurs in the area around the wellfield. Land use activity near potable water wells has direct consequences on the quality of water percolating into the surficial aquifer. To ensure the long-term use of the present and future wells and wellfields it is necessary to take steps which will help to prevent the contamination of underground fresh water.
