Each Property Owner or Manager shall voluntarily reduce water use and prepare for possible worsening conditions and more aggressive water shortage actions if conditions worsen. All water users have a duty to keep informed about the water use restrictions and other required actions applicable to them.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board voted to declare a Modified Phase II “Severe” Water Shortage due to dry conditions across the region, which requires all residents in Hillsborough County, including those on private wells, to follow one-day-per-week watering restrictions.
The restrictions are in effect from Feb. 8, 2026, through July 1, 2026. This schedule may be reduced or extended depending on conditions.
