Change to Irrigation Schedule for Village Center Service Area Customers in CDD No. 1

The St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has recently amended its Landscape Irrigation Rule. With the changes to the irrigation rule, CDD No.1 residents will now be under the rules and regulations of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). SWFWMD is currently on a one-day-per-week irrigation schedule mandated by a Water Shortage Order.

The current Water Shortage Order which restricts residential and commercial irrigation of lawns and landscaping to one-day-per-week throughout the 16-county District. In addition to residents and commercial facilities in Sumter County, the restrictions also apply to residents and commercial facilities in the Marion County portion of The Villages as their water is supplied by facilities regulated by SWFWMD.
