The Tampa Bay region remains in a Stage 3 Regional Supply Shortage because of ongoing rainfall deficits, reduced river flows and projected low reservoir levels.
What we need from the environment: sustained rains. What we need from you: continued water conservation.
Simple, everyday actions can make a meaningful difference!
Water your lawn no more than one day per week and at the allowed times. Find out your watering day below or at MyWaterDay.org.
Fix household leaks. The most common leaks include broken sprinkler heads, leaking irrigation lines, leaky pipes or faucets, and worn toilet flappers.
Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and save two minutes of running water each time.
If you receive rain at your house, turn off your sprinklers. This is not the time to set it and forget it.
Wait until consistent rain arrives to plant or lay sod. New plants require frequent watering to establish.
Limit showers to five minutes or less and save up to 25 gallons of water.
