Sarasota and Manatee Watering Restrictions Through March 31, 2027: Watering Days, Hours, Pressure Washing and HOA Rules

The Southwest Florida Water Management District's Modified Phase III "Extreme" Water Shortage Order took effect on April 3, 2026 and runs through March 31, 2027 (District news release, September 22, 2026). It covers all of Sarasota and Manatee counties (District Water Restrictions).

Checked against the official sources on October 1, 2026.

Not legal advice. A city or county may set a stricter schedule. Check the utility that serves the address (table below).

The order and its dates

Watering hours

Hand watering, micro-irrigation and new lawns

  • Hand watering and micro-irrigation of flower beds, shrubs and other plants (not lawns) is allowed any day, before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. (District Water Restrictions).
  • New lawns and plants have a 60-day establishment period. Days 1 to 30: any day of the week. Days 31 to 60: three days a week, and the user must keep a written schedule (District Water Restrictions).
  • Days 31 to 60: even-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Odd-numbered addresses water on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday (District Water Restrictions).
  • City of Bradenton: the establishment period begins the day the new plant material is installed, and the owner or manager must show a receipt or other proof on request (City of Bradenton).

Pressure washing during the order

Before booking a wash, tell the pro whether it is prep for paint or sealer, and check the utility page for the address.

What an HOA cannot require

  • District order: "No HOA or other entity shall enforce deed restrictions or other community standards requiring an increase in surface water, potable or domestic well water use, including the replacement of plant material to meet aesthetic standards or pressure washing" (District Water Restrictions).
  • City of Bradenton: "Homeowners associations or other entities may not require watering that conflicts with current watering restrictions" (City of Bradenton).

Car washing, boats, fountains, reclaimed water and wells

  • Car washing at home (non-commercial) is allowed only on the lawn watering day, with a hose that has a shutoff nozzle (District Water Restrictions).
  • Rinsing boats and flushing boat engines is allowed after each use when needed to remove salt water or to stop the spread of exotic plant or animal material (District Water Restrictions).
  • Aesthetic fountains may run four hours a day. The owner picks the hours and must post them (District Water Restrictions).
  • Reclaimed water is subject only to voluntary watering hours, unless the local government or utility restricts it (District Water Restrictions).
  • Manatee County Utilities applies the reclaimed water rule to straight reclaim not mixed with any other source, including ponds or wells (Manatee County Utilities).
  • Private wells: the restrictions apply (District Water Restrictions).

How HANDYS fits

HANDYS is a referral service. Independent local pros do the work, set their own prices and carry their own insurance. HANDYS does not perform work and does not decide how a water rule applies to a property.
