The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has eased water restrictions in most parts of Broward County, effective April 18. The new restrictions lift the lawn watering restrictions from once a week to twice a week.
Under the new restrictions, lawn watering will be permitted on Wednesdays and Saturdays for houses with ODD numbered addresses and on Thursdays and Sundays for houses with EVEN numbered addresses. Watering will be permitted between midnight and 10 a.m., or between 4 p.m. and midnight.
A modified Phase III water shortage declaration for all users within areas serviced by Hallandale Beach and Dania Beach water utilities remains in effect. Customers of these utilities, including homes, businesses and government facilities will remain on once-a-week lawn watering restrictions.
The restrictions were eased by the SFWMD following two months of above normal rainfall. Water levels in Lake Okeechobee, a back-up source for east coast well field protection, were at 10.53 feet on April 11, about four feet below the historical average for this time of year.
