For 25 years, April has been annually proclaimed as Water Conservation Month in Florida, and for good reason. April is part of Florida’s dry season and April showers aren’t typical here. As temperatures get warmer, outdoor water usage is expected to rise.
From Oct. 1, 2022, to Feb. 28, 2023, Tampa Bay Water delivered an average of 186.2 million gallons of water per day (mgd) to meet regional water demands. That’s 1% higher than the same period last year. With more and more people moving to the area, it’s never been more important to conserve water.
