Water-Use Restrictions

As of April 18, 2008, Modified Phase II water-use restrictions are in effect across most of South Florida, including Sunrise. These two-day-a-week landscape irrigation restrictions have been imposed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and are enforced in our City with the assistance of the Sunrise Police Department and Sunrise Code Enforcement. Pursuant to City ordinance, fines of up to $250 may be assessed for violation of these restrictions.

An overview of the residential restrictions is provided below. For additional details, residents and business owners are invited to visit the SFWMD Web site.
