***Community Updates and Information***

Warning: Water violators will be fined


County officials hired two Code Enforcement Officers with the sole responsibility of enforcing the watering restrictions which apply to customers on central water systems and those who use well.  Other Officers in the Department are also supporting this effort.

The county ordinance includes the restrictions imposed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).

Watering is allowed only before 8 a.m. OR after 4 p.m. one day a week.
Each house is assigned its day based on the address number or letter.
SWFWMD wants the county to beef up enforcement of water restrictions because it is pumping too much water from the ground.
SWFWMD says residents should restrict water consumption to 150
gallons a day per person.

Fines range from $100 for the first violation up to $500 for the third violation; and up to 60 days in jail for four or more violations.


CITRUS COUNTY WATER RESTRICTIONS
Here are the watering days assigned to addresses ending in
0, 1: Monday
2, 3: Tuesday
4, 5: Wednesday
6, 7: Thursday
8, 9: Friday

* For more information call the Citrus County Code Enforcement at 527-5350 or your Water Conservation Coordinator at 527-7650.
