Residents who live in an odd-numbered street address are allowed to water their lawn only on Wednesday and Saturday. Residents who have a street address containing an even number may water their lawn on Thursday and Sunday.
Businesses, schools and churches in Seminole County are permitted to water their lawn only on Tuesday and Friday. However, residents are allowed to water their lawn anytime if they have a freshly planted landscape or are using a hand-held garden hose.
When using more water, the quality of water lessens and could damage water coming from lakes, springs or wetlands.
