Reclaimed water restrictions now in effect in North County

Reclaimed water restrictions now in effect in North County

Pinellas County Utilities is implementing reclaimed water restrictions for North County customers starting today in response to a supply shortage caused by limited rainfall and increased customer usage.

Beginning today, April 28, 2025, reclaimed water customers residing north of SR 580 may water no more than once a week based on their house address according to the following schedule.

• Addresses ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 may irrigate on Saturdays
• Addresses ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 may irrigate on Wednesdays
• Mixed address or no address properties such as common areas may irrigate on Wednesdays
• Watering is not allowed between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The North County reclaimed water system will be temporarily shut down on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Conserving water now will help ensure all customers have access to reclaimed water and avoid additional limitations due to excessive demand.

The one-day-per-week irrigation schedule for North County customers is anticipated to remain in effect until seasonal rainfall resumes in the service area. These additional measures also allow the system to slowly restore to normal operating levels while providing enough reclaimed water to meet lawn irrigation needs and maintain adequate system pressure for all affected customers.
