Tampa City Council makes permanent, year-round weekly lawn watering rule to conserve water.

Tampa City Council has made once-a-week lawn watering a permanent, year-round rule to conserve water amid low levels in local lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. The decision, which extends beyond the Southwest Florida Water Management District's guidelines, aims to encourage water conservation 365 days a year. Homeowners' associations have expressed concerns about fines for residents with unkempt lawns, and the council plans to review the rules and potential amendments for flexibility.
