Has your lawn received rain recently? If so, please consider shutting off your irrigation cycle this week to conserve water.
Polk County is currently facing drought conditions that have caused Southwest Florida Water Management District to declare a Modified Phase III water shortage order.
Skipping a week of watering helps protect the lakes, streams and wetlands that we love in Polk County, Florida.
To read up on the water shortage order and the current watering restrictions for both residential and commercial customers of Polk, visit www.polkfl.gov/services/utilities/water-restrictions/.
