The City is reminding Cape Coral residents to follow the mandatory two-day watering schedule for irrigation. A lack of rainfall and high usage numbers are impacting the canal levels.

Cape Coral Code Compliance is increasing enforcement efforts due to the higher than normal usage. There were 315 illegal watering cases last week. Following the year-round schedule and conservation is important. Setting automatic timers to water 20-30 minutes in each zone should provide adequate irrigation for residential lawns.  Hand watering also is allowed at any time.
