The Bond Buyer
Public finance attorney Michael Wiener was quoted in an article published by The Bond Buyer discussing how Florida's water utilities are tackling worsening supply challenges amid population growth and climate change. The article highlighted strategies such as forming regional cooperatives and tapping into deeper aquifers to secure sustainable water sources. Mr. Wiener explained that local authorities may also seek to safeguard the state's water future through tying alternative supply plans to regulatory or permit approvals.
"Utilities may be required to develop alternate water supplies in connection with receiving approval from water management districts for renewals or increases in their consumptive use permits," he said.
