MANDATORY WATERING RESTRICTIONS 

Due to severe drought conditions, the St. Johns River Water Management District has issued mandatory water restrictions for Marion, Lake, Orange and Seminole counties.

 

Who do these restrictions apply to?  The restrictions apply to every property owner regardless of whether their water comes from a private well, from a public/private utility or from surface water.  Restrictions apply to residential, commercial and industrial properties.  Golf courses, agriculture and nurseries have unique restrictions.

 

When can I water my lawn?  Landscape irrigation is restricted to a maximum of two days per week and shall not occur between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.  Existing landscape with odd addresses are allowed to irrigate on Wednesday and Saturday.  Existing landscape with even addresses or no address are allowed to irrigate on Thursday and Sunday.  Irrigation on these designated days shall only occur when actually needed because of a lack of rainfall, and shall be limited to the application of no more than ¾ of an inch of water in the irrigated area.

 

So please do your part in our water conservation effort. Let’s keep Lady Lake clean, green, and beautiful, and at the same time conserve a valuable resource.  Thanks for your help, if you have any questions please call Ken Keough, Public Works Director at (352) 751-1526 or call St. Johns River Water Management District directly at
