Sarasota, FL

Situated on Florida’s west coast, the city of Sarasota is not close to a large body of freshwater and derives its drinking water from multiple sources. Several wells pump water to the treatment facility in the T. Mabry Carlton, Jr. Memorial Reserve, and over half of the public drinking water is purchased from neighboring counties that use the Manatee River and the Peace River as their primary water source. Along with the rest of Florida, Sarasota has enacted new landscape and irrigation ordinances to combat ongoing water shortages.

Residents of Sarasota County should follow the updated water restrictions and guidelines to comply with local regulations. For homeowners with even-numbered addresses, watering is restricted to Tuesdays only, while odd-numbered addresses can water on Thursdays only. Residents are asked to not water their lawns between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any day. If residents live in common areas with no address, such as median or roadside plantings, clubhouse, or recreation areas, the property may be watered only on Tuesdays. The maximum amount of water applied is limited to three-quarters of an inch in each irrigation zone, on each allowable watering day. A full list of Sarasota County’s water restrictions is available here.
