PASCO COUNTY – The Southwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board is extending the Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage through Oct. 1, due to ongoing water shortages causing drought conditions. Under the extended order, the irrigation window for potable, well and surface water remains between midnight and 4 a.m. or between 8 p.m. and midnight. Confirm your one assigned watering day at mypas.co/SaveWater and follow all watering guidelines.
- Potable, well or surface water use – between midnight and 4 a.m. or between 8 p.m. and midnight
- Reclaimed water use – between midnight and 8 a.m.
- HOAs may not require more watering than restrictions allow, landscape replacement or pressure washing for aesthetic purposes.
“Irrigation often accounts for more than half of a homeowner’s water costs, and irrigating efficiently is one of the most effective ways to save water and save money,” said Sandra Anderson, customer information and services director for Pasco County Utilities. “Regardless of your water source, in Pasco, you can only water once a week on your assigned day.”
