Know Your Watering Days Carrollwood

Carrollwood area residents fed up with once-a-week lawn watering restrictions can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Southwest Florida Water Management District and Hillsborough County have loosened the rules – a bit.

Rather than have to follow a once-a-week schedule, customers of the county’s water department can now give their yards a twice weekly drink. The rules changed Aug. 1.

Here’s the new schedule for homes and businesses in unincorporated Hillsborough County:

• Addresses ending in 0, 1, 2 or 3 - Mondays and Thursdays
• Addresses ending in 4, 5 or 6 - Tuesdays and Fridays
• Addresses ending in 7, 8 or 9 - Wednesdays and Saturdays
• Locations with no address (common areas) and locations with mixed addresses (such as office complexes and shopping centers) - Wednesdays and Saturdays

All watering must be completed before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. on designated days.

Happen to get your water from the City of Tampa?

Just follow the same schedule.

Keep in mind restrictions don’t apply to locations that use reclaimed water or micro-irrigation. Hand water of plants is also OK. The rules, however, do apply to people with their own wells.
