This week the St. John’s River Water Management District confirmed the designation of Water Star
Certifier to three City employees, Bill Butler, Irma Velez, and Brian Matthews. They are now qualified
to certify new homes as Florida Water Star compliant. With this certification, homebuilders can get
rebates on their building and utility fees upon completion of the home and a successful certification
inspection. These inspections involve interior plumbing, fixtures, and appliances that conserve water, as
well as the exterior landscaping and irrigation that is designed to save water. The first home to be
certified as a Florida Water Star home will be presented their certificate at an upcoming City Council
meeting.
