The measurement of this Objective is the level of the aquifer plus the degree to which the following Policies are implemented.

Policy AR-1.1

The City shall regulate land use and development to protect the functions of natural drainage features and groundwater aquifer recharge areas. This Policy will be carried out, in part, by the City's enforcement of its stormwater management Ordinance for retention and detention of stormwater and its land use regulations.

Policy AR-1.2

The City shall cooperate with Brevard County in enforcement of the ordinance requiring recirculation of water for heat pumps which are connected to wells.
