• Potable Water Restrictions in Force from April 3rd

  Due to extreme drought conditions,
  watering restrictions have changed
  in Venice City from
  April 3rd.

  The interpretation is that this restriction, as mentioned in the Venice pamphlet below, impacts residents 
  
  who use potable water for car washing, 
  
  who irrigate with a sprinkler connected to their potable water supply, or 
  
  who water plants in their garden or landscape using a water hose connected to the outside water faucet. 
  
  The drought is curtailing use to specific hours or days depending on your address.
  

  The source for the potable water is the Venice Water Treatment Plant which is near the intercostal/Venice bridge at 200 North Warfield Ave.

  Venice Utilities asks that we also limit use of irrigation water which is supplied to the VGRC via the Water Reclamation facility at 3510 East Laurel Road.

  The most recent 12-month period (ending March 2026) has been significantly drier than normal. With only 36.70 inches recorded to date, the region is currently experiencing a deficit of approximately 15.85 inches compared to the long-term average. This follows a particularly dry calendar year in 2025, which saw only 37.75 inches total.

  To track your household water usage, like everything else it seems, there is an app! See EyeOnWater and register. This app uses your water meter to gauge how much water you use by day, by week or by month. More significantly, it will alert you when you have a leak.

  

  The changes for City residents are as follows:

  • Watering hours (sprinklers)
    • BEFORE: Watering before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m., once per week
    • NOW: Watering 12:01 a.m. to 4 a.m. OR 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m., once per week
