WATERING ALERT
The Venetian CDD emailed the following important notice to all residents on May 5, 2026. Both the CDD and POA encourage residents to understand and abide by these restrictions until further notice.
Our community has had 572 watering violations at 82 properties on 84% of our streets in the last 45 days.
NEIGHBORS, THIS IS SERIOUS.
Watering through your irrigation sprinkler heads, reclaimed water, is limited to one day a week. See attached Irrigation Schedule. Block II is turned off.
Please check or have your landscaper check your timers immediately.
Connecting a hose to city water is also limited to one day a week per the City of Venice website. Click HERE for Venice water schedule. Even house numbers may water on Tuesday and odd numbers on Thursday between the hours of 12:01 – 4 a.m. OR 8 p,m. – 11 p.m. See the website for detailed information.
Per the CWS (Community Wide Standards), irrigation compliance is the homeowner’s responsibility. These violations are subject to a $100 per violation fine.
PLEASE CONSERVE WATER
**Additional general information is available from the Sarasota County website and the Southwest Florida Water Management District website. HOWEVER, the Venetian follows the City of Venice watering schedule for potable water. There is more detailed information about potable water on this website at Potable Water Restrictions in Force from April 3rd

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION COMMENT
Please be aware that there are TWO issues being discussed above. Irrigation water is supplied by our community using reclaimed water from our ponds. This is subject to the “Irrigation Schedule” available through the link above. At the same time, the City of Venice is restricting the use of potable (City) water that you might use to wash your car or water your plants in addition to the normal irrigation. Please be aware of this distinction and the fact that there is a different schedule for each.
