Volusia County is experiencing drier than normal conditions so it is especially important for residents to observe the mandatory watering restrictions.


Expanded Volusia County reclaimed water customer restrictions

Current watering restrictions

  • The restrictions allow yard watering and private car washing for homes with even addresses from 4 - 8 a.m. (automatic and manual systems) or 5 - 9 p.m. (manual only) Thursdays and Sundays. A manual system doesn't have a control device such as a sprinkler attached to a hose; it is not an automatic system that the owner chooses to operate manually.
  • Homes with odd addresses may water at the same times on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
  • Private automobile washing may be done only during the above hours and days.
  • No watering or car washing is permitted on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
  • The above applies to private wells, city water and lakes. Volusia County reclaimed water customers also have restrictions on their use. Read this pdf document for more information.
  • Watering of new plantings (sod, seed, landscape plants, etc.) is permitted from 2 - 8 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for automatic systems. Manual systems may irrigate from 2 - 8 a.m. and 5 - 9 p.m. This new planting irrigation schedule applies only during the first 30 days of planting.
  • Hand watering is permitted anytime, but avoidance of hours of high evaporation is encouraged.
