🚫 Under SWFWMD's Phase III Water Restrictions, aesthetic pressure washing is not permitted.
During current Southwest Florida Water Management District Phase III restrictions, residents cannot be required by HOAs or other organizations to use water for appearance-related activities such as:
• Aesthetic pressure washing
• Non-essential plant replacement
• Other purely cosmetic water use
Pressure washing is only allowed when necessary for maintenance purposes, such as removing algae or mold that could damage surfaces, or when preparing a surface for painting or sealing.
These restrictions are in place to help conserve our water supply during severe drought conditions.
