Know What Water Shortage Phase You’re In 🚨
A Phase III Extreme Water Shortage has been declared across portions of the St. Johns River Water Management District due to ongoing drought conditions. Below-average rainfall, declining groundwater levels, and reduced river flows continue to place stress on our water resources.
💧 Water shortage declarations are temporary measures used to help protect water supplies during extended dry periods. Conditions are monitored regularly, and additional restrictions may be implemented if drought conditions worsen.
Here’s a breakdown of Extreme Phase III:
🟡 Severe
• Long-term rainfall shortages intensify
• Rivers, lakes, and aquifers experience major stress
• Mandatory restrictions are implemented to help protect water supplies
📍 Restrictions may vary depending on where you live and which water management district or local government oversees your area.
💦 Every drop counts. Conserving water now helps protect Florida’s springs, rivers, lakes and groundwater supplies for communities, agriculture and the environment.
