Well permits
Volusia County's health department holds a well permitting delegation agreement with the St. Johns River district, so residential and irrigation wells are permitted locally.
Construction, modification and abandonment all require a permit under Chapter 62-532, Florida Administrative Code.
Septic permits
Volusia permits its onsite systems through the county environmental health office, with coastal parcels held to the same wet-season water table separation that governs the rest of the Florida coast.
New systems, replacements, repairs to the drain field and tank abandonment are permitted under Chapter 64E-6, Florida Administrative Code.
What that means on the ground
Daytona Beach is the one town on this list outside the usual 25-mile radius. Work there is scheduled rather than same-day, and it is worth saying so plainly, because a company that promises a Sunday truck in Daytona from a yard on New Kings Road is not telling the truth.
Permitting is straightforward: both the well and the septic permit come from the county health department. The systems themselves are coastal, with the water table and the salt air doing to equipment what they do everywhere along the Atlantic side.
Call Flamingo takes Volusia work by appointment and groups it so the run south is worth making.
The one number both permits share
A private drinking well has to sit at least 75 feet from any part of a septic system, and an irrigation well 50 feet, under the state onsite sewage rule. Whichever office issues which permit in Volusia County, that measurement is what decides where a new well or a new drain field can go. How the setback plays out on a lot.
