Punta Gorda restricts lawn watering to once a week due to drought, allowing exceptions for new lawns and hand watering.

Punta Gorda has enacted a new emergency ordinance limiting lawn watering to once a week due to drought conditions and high water demand. The ordinance permits hand watering, car washing, and pressure washing with a shutoff nozzle, and allows new lawns to be watered daily for the first 30 days. The measure, aimed at conserving water, will be in effect for 180 days and could be extended.
