CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Feb. 16, 2026) - In an effort to better conserve water during the Southwest Florida Water Management District's water shortage restriction, a portion of Charlotte County residents, including those on private wells, are asked to observe a new watering day schedule.
The new schedule is based on what number your address ends in:
Watering hours are reduced to the morning only, from 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m. Hand watering and micro-irrigation of plants (not lawns) are allowed any day, any time.
These measures are in effect through July 1, 2026.
