CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A Modified Phase IV water shortage order has been issued for Northeastern Cape Coral by the South Florida Water Management District.
This is due to critically low water levels in the Mid-Hawthorn Aquifier.
Residents are prohibited from using their sprinkler systems and may only hand-water three times a week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Irrigation watering for public recreation areas have been restricted to once a week between 4 and 7 am and 5 to 7 pm on hand watering.
