DER Says Order Won't Free All DWU Taps
DER official says Destin Water Users faces limits freeing taps as consent terms set 2.4 million gallon daily base flow. DWU may free fewer than 3,000 taps, with base flow disputes between DEA and DWU, while consolidation plans and future demand shape timing. Baskerville-Donovan aids priority list, with about 1,900 taps presold and subdivision connections to follow.
