Reminder about Miami-Dade County Water Restrictions

Miami-Dade County has precious water supply that must be protected and preserved. Water conservation is vital to the preservation of South Florida's ecosystems.

Water Restrictions
In Miami-Dade County, water restrictions are permanent and enforced year-round. These restrictions apply to users of any water source, including public utilities, private wells and any surface water body including canals and lakes.

So when can I water my lawn?

You may water your lawn two days a week. The same rules apply to residences and businesses.

  • ODD-numbered home address (those that end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are permitted to irrigate on Wednesdays and Saturdays, before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m.
  • EVEN-numbered addresses (those ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) are allowed to irrigate on Thursdays and Sundays, before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m.

Choose one of the two “watering windows” — either morning or evening. It is not necessary to water your lawn twice a day – it’s wasteful and can be detrimental to your landscape.

For more information on the water restrictions please visit the Miami-Dade Water Restrictions website

The City of Coral Gables and Miami-Dade County are encouraging our residents to help conserve water for future generations by purchasing water efficient fixtures.

Single-family residential property owners or tenants may receive:

  • Up to a $25 rebate (actual cost of fixture or $25, whichever is less) with the purchase and installation of a WaterSense-certified or 1.5 gallon per minute (gpm) High-Efficiency showerhead or faucet .

Disclaimer: To qualify, the residential property must have been built prior to 1996. Please be advised, if you live in an older home, you might want to check if your home’s plumbing system can handle low flow toilets without any problems.

Landscape Irrigation Evaluations

As part of countywide efforts to reduce water use and improve efficiency, free landscape irrigation evaluations are offered to single-family homeowners and large property owners (i.e. condominium associations, commercial properties, etc.).

Rebates are available for completing irrigation retrofits recommended during the evaluation. Please visit Miami-Dade County's website for more information. 

To learn about more ways to save, including information about landscape irrigation restrictions, visit the Miami-Dade County Water Conservation program website.
