  • May 2025
  • By Burnt Store Lakes

Charlotte County residents must follow these guidelines unless additional Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) or Charlotte County Utilities restrictions apply.

Lawn Watering is limited to two days per week based on the last number in your service address:

• Even number addresses may water on Thursday and/or Sunday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

• Odd number addresses may water on Wednesday and/or Saturday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

• Locations without a discernable address, such as rights-of-way and common areas inside a subdivision, may water on Tuesday and/or Friday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

Hand watering and micro-irrigation of plants (other than lawns) may be done any day and at any time.

New lawns and plants have a “30-30” establishment period:

• On the day of installation, watering is allowed on any day at any time.

• During the first 30 days, watering is allowed any day during the allowable hours.

• During the second 30 days, watering is allowed three days per week:

         § Even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

         § Odd-numbered addresses may water Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

         § Locations without a discernable address may water on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.

These guidelines apply regardless of your water source, i.e., lake, well, or public.
