Phase II Water Shortage

Events Posted on January 29, 2026

The Southwest Florida Water Management District has issued a Phase 2 Water Shortage Order beginning February 8, 2026, due to below average rainfall and declining water supply throughout the region. This order requires Pinellas County residents to limit watering to one day per week. We're asking our customers to conserve water to help stretch our water supply during this time. Keep in mind that lawn watering needs are much lower this time of year.

Here are a few easy ways to save water today:

  • Water only on your assigned days 
  • Turn off automatic sprinklers when rain is in the forecast
  • Check for and fix broken sprinkler heads, leaks and stuck valves
  • Sweep driveways and sidewalks instead of hosing them down

The Town of Belleair will continue to maintain its current once-per-week watering schedule, as it is in compliance with the county’s rule. Click here to see Belleair’s watering schedule.
