⚠️ Water Shortage – SWFWMD
Due to ongoing drought conditions and critically low water supplies, the Southwest Florida Water Management District has extended the Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage Order through October 1, 2026. All Gulfport residents, including those using private wells, must continue following one-day-per-week watering restrictions. Lawn watering is allowed only between 12:01 a.m. and 4 a.m. or 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on your assigned day. Properties under one acre may use one watering window; properties one acre or larger may use both.
