(4) Under certain circumstances, the District is authorized to issue a temporary water use permit pursuant to Florida Statutes § 373.244
(5) A water user shall obtain one permit for all withdrawals and diversions that are intended to serve contiguous property. Two or more properties represented by their owners to be separate properties shall be aggregated and treated as a single property for permitting purposes when the District determines that the properties are physically proximate and either (a) share the same withdrawal facilities and related infrastructure or (b) are operated as a common enterprise. However, when multiple use types, as defined in Fl. Admin. Code R. 40A-2.501, are served by separate withdrawal facilities, the District is authorized to issue separate individual permits.
