This is just a friendly reminder that the St. Johns River Water Management District’s mandatory watering restrictions are in effect to help protect our water resources while still allowing landscapes to stay healthy year-round. These rules outline when you can water, how much you can apply, and which days watering is permitted.
Watering days depend on whether your address ends in an odd or even number, and the schedule also varies by time of year. Be sure to follow the designated watering windows based on our Eastern Standard Time zone, which helps ensure irrigation happens during the most efficient hours.
To further support conservation efforts, the District also offers a Water Conservation Cost-Share Rebate Program. This program provides financial assistance for approved water-saving projects and upgrades. The cost-share rebate will be up to 50% of actual costs with a not-to-exceed designated maximum amount per item/service. (Note: Labor, installation and design costs from a third party or contractor are included as eligible expenses.) Applicants cannot receive more than $10,000 in rebates per year. Approved programs will be rebated on a “first-come, first-served” basis until program funds are depleted.
Interested applicants—including local governments, HOAs, utilities, and multi-family property owners—can learn more and apply through the District’s website.
By following the watering schedule and taking advantage of conservation opportunities, residents and organizations can help protect water resources while keeping landscapes healthy and vibrant.
