The one-day-per-week lawn watering restrictions that went into effect in February, continues with stricter watering hours.
Unless a city or county already has stricter hours in place, watering hours are reduced to 12:01 to 4 a.m. or 8 to 11:59 p.m. on a property’s scheduled day for watering, SWFWMD said.
Properties less than 1 acre may only use one of these windows.
Here is the SWFWMD standard watering schedule based on addresses ending in:
0 or 1, only water on Monday2 or 3, only water on Tuesday4 or 5, only water on Wednesday6 or 7, only water on Thursday8 or 9, as well as locations with a mix of addresses or for which an address can’t be determined, such as common areas associated with a subdivision, only water on Friday
Low-volume watering (micro-irrigation, soaker hoses, hand watering) of plants and shrubs (not lawns) is still allowed on any day but only before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
