Facing a rapidly declining water supply, the Apopka Department of Public Services has enacted a state of water supply conservation to ensure an adequate potable and reclaimed water supply. With an increasingly faster depletion of the water supply being observed at the City of Apopka's Potable and Reclaimed Water Plants, the City is entering the mandatory water conservation restrictions listed below.
The following restrictions are in effect beginning April 28, 2025
Restriction type: Mandatory
According to the St. Johns River Water Management District, restricted irrigation activities are permitted before 10 AM and after 4 PM and are limited to alternate days. Addresses ending in odd numbers may be watered on Wednesday & Saturday. Addresses ending in even numbers may be watered on Thursday and Sunday. Non-residential irrigation may water on Tuesday and Friday. At this time, we are requesting that residential and commercial customers do not install new sod until the water restrictions have been rescinded.
Any irrigation practices are restricted to 15 minutes per zone.
Consequences of violating the restrictions are:
- First Violation: Written Warning
- Second Violation: $50 Fine
- Third Violation: $100 Fine
- Subsequent Violations: $500 Fine
Each day in which any violation exists shall constitute a separate offense.
