Once-a-week watering restrictions schedule released

County commissioners Tuesday voted 3-2 to adopt an ordinance setting year-round water restrictions for one-day-a-week.

Even though the Southwest Florida Water Management District enacted a twice-per-week watering rule effective July 1, each county within the district may enact their own restrictions which may be more restrictive but not less so.

Effective immediately, people can water before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. according to the following:

If your address ends with:

0 or 1 - Monday

2 or 3 - Tuesday

4 or 5 - Wednesday

6 or 7 - Thursday

8 or 9 - Friday

"We want to make sure that our residents fully understand that we are staying with the one-day-per-week rule which has been in effect for the past three-and-a-half years," said Health & Human Services Director Jean Rags.
