Session Description
This webinar will prepare local governments and developers to take advantage of Florida’s Graywater Density Bonus statute (s. 403.892, F.S.), which authorizes a 25–35% density or intensity bonus for qualifying residential developments with 25 or more units. CJ Reynolds will explain how the statute supports water conservation and reduces local government wastewater treatment loads through graywater reuse systems in new housing. Lowell Atkinson will explain how the graywater density bonus interacts with the local density bonus and incentive strategies, provide practical guidance for SHIP staff and planning, utilities, and building departments on aligning programs, reviewing, permitting, and supporting qualifying projects. Bob Drew, CEO, Ecovie Water Management, and a developer will discuss how to integrate graywater systems into construction design, engage contractors, prepare required calculations and certifications, and assess system costs to unlock the full bonus. Participants will gain insights from developers who successfully used the statute.
