Look-up Your Lawn Watering Day

*If no lawn watering day is displayed then the address does not reside within Tampa city limits and you should refer to Hillsborough County restrictions for information. 

Irrigation days are building number specific, for more information review Tampa's Water Use Restrictions, which apply to all outdoor water uses, not just irrigation.  Any violation of the restrictions can result in a citation of up to $500.  It is your responsibility to know the current restrictions.
