Gov. Rick Scott has a little more than a week to act on the remaining 19 bills from the 2018 legislative session, including a water-related measure drawing fire from environmentalists.

The proposal would allow chemically treated, recycled water to be pumped into the state's underground aquifer, an effort supporters argue is a means to boost the state's amount of potable water but which critics fear could contaminate Florida's supply of drinking water.

The contentious measure is part of a wide-ranging bill (HB 1149) that addresses a variety of water-related issues, including rules regarding rebuilding single-family docks and the operation of the C-51 reservoir project south of Lake Okeechobee.
