Water Restrictions
 Overview
Updated December 1, 2010
SWFWMD has implemented Modified Phase 1 (Moderate) Water Shortage provisions. This declaration means that conditions are below normal and warrant the following restrictions.
Lawn Watering Schedule and Times
- Lawn watering is limited to twice per week.
- Unless your city or county has a different schedule or stricter hours in effect,
- Even addresses may water on Thursday and/or Sunday before 10 am or after 4 pm
- Odd addresses may water on Wednesday and/or Saturday before 10 am or after 4 pm
Landscape Watering Schedule and Times
- Hand watering and micro-irrigation of plants (other than lawns) can be done on any day and at any time.
New Lawns and Plants
- New lawns and plants have a 30-30 establishment period, which allows any-day watering during the first 30 days.
- During the second 30 days, watering is allowed three days per week: even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday; odd-numbered addresses may water Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Reclaimed Water
- Reclaimed water remains subject to voluntary watering hours, unless blended with another water source or restricted by the local government or utility.
Fountain Operation, Car Washing and Pressure Washing
- There are no restrictions on fountains, car washing and pressure washing.
- However, the Districts asks that residents be as efficient as possible, such as using a shut-off nozzle on their hose, so water isn’t wasted.
Other Restrictions
- Reduce indoor water use on a voluntary basis
- Test and repair irrigation systems
