Watering restrictions in Cape Coral, FL

Authority: City of Cape Coral Utilities (SFWMD base rule) · Schedule type: assigned-days · Reviewed 2026-08

The current rules

Cape Coral is back on its standard year-round two-day-per-week schedule (the regional shortage order was rescinded in June 2026). Both your two watering days and your specific overnight time window are assigned by the last digit of your address — the city pairs address endings into day groups (e.g. Mon/Thu, Tue/Fri, Wed/Sat) and splits each group across three overnight windows. Look up your exact digit assignment on the city's water conservation page.

Watering days
2 days/week by last digit of address (paired days plus an assigned overnight window)
Hours
An assigned overnight window: 8 p.m.–midnight, midnight–4 a.m., or 4 a.m.–8 a.m., by address digit

New sod or seed?

Newly planted vegetation gets a 30-day establishment period (daily watering, 2–8 a.m.), then a reduced schedule (Mon/Wed/Thu/Sat, 2–8 a.m.) for days 31–90.

Seasonal changes

A separate, tighter order applies only to private-well users in northeastern Cape Coral drawing from the Mid-Hawthorn Aquifer — check which system serves your address.

Never think about this again

Verdyn builds Cape Coral's allowed days and hours into every schedule it creates, layers live weather on top, and applies the new-turf establishment program when you set a planting date. Compliant and agronomically right, automatically.
