What happened
The Southwest Florida Water Management District announced the extension of current water restrictions through March 31, 2027. The district’s governing board voted on September 22 to extend the Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage. The order requires all residents, including those on private wells, to follow one-day-per-week watering restrictions with strict usage hours.

Why it matters
The extension is due to ongoing drought conditions, with the 12-month rainfall deficit through August 2026 standing at 15.4 inches. The district’s regional reservoir currently holds about half of its storage capacity.
