...ey are purchasing their water. While recognizing that the proposed portion of BOR 3.6 is "consistent with the overall purposes of chapter 373," the ALJ nevertheless found that it was an invalid delegation of legislative authority. The ALJ found that section
373.219(1), Florida Statutes (1995), only authorizes the District to require water use permits for the "consumptive use of water." He further found that the "District's proposed requirement in BOR section 3.6 ... impermissibly enlarges and extends section
373.219(1) to an individual or entity receiving water from a permittee." The ALJ noted that although chapter 373 does not define the term "consumptive use," "water" is defined in section

373.219, the word "water" as used in the term "consumptive use of water" must have a more expansive definition than that given in section
373.019(8)....
....019(8) refers primarily to water in its natural habitatin the ocean, in lakes or ponds, or in the atmosphere, as well as water that has gathered in artificial watercourses. Thus, it refers to water that has not yet been harnessed for consumption. Section 373.219(1) gives the water management districts authority over the consumption of water and allows them to impose reasonable conditions over how it is used. We conclude that the word "water" in the term "consumptive use of water" in section 373.219(1) refers to water in its consumptive statewater that has already been harnessed for consumption....
