Utilities Irrigation Restrictions


WATER NEWS



On May 19, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners approved an inter-local agreement with the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Southwest Florida Water Management District that updated the County's Water Conservation and Landscape Irrigation Ordinance (Ord. 08-09).  The new update allows all portions of Marion County to follow the St. Johns River Water Management District watering restrictions as follows.
