CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Sept. 23, 2026) – Due to below average rainfall during the 2025 and 2026 summer rainy seasons, the Southwest Florida Water Management District has extended a Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage for much of Charlotte County through March 31, 2027.
Lawn watering hours are from 12:01 a.m. to 4 a.m. only. The restriction also applies to residents on private wells.
Watering days are based on the last number of your street address:
- 0 or 1: Monday
- 2 or 3: Tuesday
- 4 or 5: Wednesday
- 6 or 7: Thursday
- 8 or 9: Friday (also for locations with mixed or no address, such as subdivision common areas)
