Due to ongoing dry conditions across Florida, the regional water management districts have issued Phase II (Level 2) water shortage restrictions to help conserve groundwater and stabilize local water supplies.
Under this declaration, landscape irrigation is limited to one day per week until conditions improve.
These restrictions apply to all irrigation sources, including city water, private wells, ponds, and surface water systems.
Typical schedules used across North Florida during one-day-per-week restrictions are:
Residential Properties
Commercial Properties / HOA Common Areas
Local governments may slightly adjust these schedules, but the key rule remains the same: irrigation is limited to one day per week.
To remain compliant during the drought restrictions, the following rules apply:
Outdoor irrigation accounts for a large portion of residential water use in Florida, and reducing unnecessary watering helps protect the aquifer, springs, lakes, and rivers that supply drinking water across the region.
Most established Florida turf and landscape plants are capable of handling reduced irrigation schedules, especially when mowing heights are maintained properly and mulch is used to retain soil moisture.
Our team continues to monitor drought conditions and adjust irrigation practices to ensure properties remain healthy while staying compliant with current water conservation rules.
If you need assistance adjusting your irrigation controller or understanding your property's watering schedule, our team is always happy to help.
