The District is under a Modified Phase I Water Shortage Order due to ongoing dry conditions throughout the region and increasing water supply concerns.
The restrictions apply to all of Citrus, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota and Sumter counties; portions of Charlotte, Highlands and Lake counties; the City of Dunnellon and The Villages in Marion County; and the portion of Gasparilla Island in Lee County through July 1, 2024.
In addition, Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties are limited to once-per-week lawn watering. These additional restrictions are needed because Tampa Bay Water, which supplies water to most of the three-county area, was unable to completely refill the 15-billion-gallon C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir this summer due to the lower-than-normal rainfall.
Residents are encouraged to check with their local governments first because stricter measures may be in place. To learn your watering schedule and get complete details on water restrictions, visit WaterMatters.org/Restrictions.
