The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners
adopted an ordinance at a public hearing on Tuesday,
July 27, 2010, setting the year-round watering
restrictions for one-day-per-week. The Southwest
Florida Water Management District (SWFWD) enacted a
twice-per-week watering rule effective July 1st;
however, each county within the district may enact
their own restrictions which may be more restrictive
but not less. The Board voted 3-2 in favor of the new ordinance
Although lawn watering has been allowed two days per week since
July 1st when SWFWMD enacted its new rule, Hernando County Code
Enforcement will now return to enforcement of the one-day-per-week
rule. "We want to make sure that our residents fully understand
that we are staying with the one-day-per-week rule which has
been in effect for the past 3 1/2 years," said Jean Rags,
Health & Human Services Director.
