New Mandatory Water Restrictions Take Effect
April 18, 2008

Modified Phase II Water Shortage

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) declared a District-wide water shortage, directly affecting more than five million South Florida residents and thousands of farms and businesses.

Effective April 18 2008 – Modified Phase II Water Restrictions are in effect throughout entire South Florida Water Management District region – including the City of Hollywood.

The City of Hollywood is asking everyone to adhere to the guidelines for Modified Phase II Water Restrictions.

Violation will result in fine.

Modified Phase II Water Restrictions Guidelines

Addresses ending in odd numbers may irrigate lawns and landscapes on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Addresses ending in even numbers may irrigate lawns and landscapes on Thursdays and Sundays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. Residents and businesses with more than five acres have expanded irrigation hours, between 12:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on their designated irrigation day.

Hand-watering with one hose fitted with an automatic shut-off nozzle is allowed for 10 minutes per day for landscape stress relief and to prevent plant die-off. Low-volume irrigation, including the use of drip and microjet systems that apply water directly to plant root zones, is not restricted but should be voluntarily reduced.

No restrictions apply to other outside water uses, such as for car and boat washing, pressure cleaning of paved surfaces, decorative fountains and water-based recreation (e.g. swimming pools, water slides).

Modified Phase II Water Restrictions include private wells.
