WATER RESTRICTIONS
Updated November 4, 2009
Modified emergency water restrictions continue to limit residential landscape irrigation to two days per week. The South Florida Water Management District is promoting water conservation for its many benefits in meeting the growing demands on South Florida's limited water supply. The District's newly adopted Comprehensive Water Conservation Program, including a proposed Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Measure, is designed to reduce water use while developing a lasting water conservation ethic throughout South Florida.
Landscape Irrigation
• For homes with addresses that end with an odd number, watering is permitted on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
• For homes with addresses that end with an even number, no street address, or homeowners associations,
watering is permitted on Thursdays and Sundays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
• Landscape irrigation restrictions apply to water from a utility, a private well, canal, lake or pond.
• For the most efficient use of water, residents should avoid irrigating during both time periods on the same day.
• Low-volume systems such as drip, bubble and micro-jet systems that apply water directly to root plant zones may be used any time.
• Hand watering on stressed plants is allowed for 10 minutes per day on any day using a single hose with an attached automatic shut-off nozzle
.New Landscaping
• New landscaping can be watered without regard to restrictions on the first day it is installed.
• Landscaping that has been in place from 2 days to 30 days can be watered on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and/or Sundays during the hours allowed for regular landscape irrigation.
• Landscaping that has been in place from 31 days to 60 days can be watered on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during the hours allowed for regular landscape irrigation.
• Additional watering days can only be used to benefit new landscaping, and an entire irrigation system zone may only be watered if it contains at least 50 percent new landscaping.
• Existing landscapes may not be irrigated during these times. Homeowners should keep documentation on any new landscaping, such as a dated receipt of purchase, in case they are required to provide proof of the installation date.
Other Outdoor Water Uses
No restrictions apply to other outside water uses, such as for car and boat washing, pressure cleaning of paved surfaces, decorative fountains and water-based recreation (e.g. swimming pools, water slides).
Reporting Violations
You may report violations to law enforcement or zoning and code enforcement agencies. Both have the authority to issue warnings and citations that can lead to fines. See the List of County and City Enforcement Contacts. If you choose to notify your local law enforcement agency, please call their non-emergency number.
All residents are encouraged to conserve water in any way possible. To ask questions about watering, call the South Florida Management District at 1-800-662-8876.
