Conserving the use of water is one of the Town of Longboat Key's top priorities. Water conservation is promoted through a series of programs.

• A tiered rate system encourages efficient water use. Water usage rates can be found under Utility Billing.
• Irrigation is limited to promote healthy lawns and efficient watering habits to 2 days per week.
• Efficient landscaping and fertilizer use are regulated through Town Ordinance.

The Town of Longboat Key currently allows watering two days per week regardless of the source water (potable or well). To report violations, please contact Code Enforcement at 941-316-1966.

Addresses ending in odd numbers or letters A-M may occur only on Wednesday and/or Saturday. Addresses ending in even numbers or letters N-Z may occur only on Thursday and/or Sunday. Irrigation may only take place during the hours of 12:01am to 10:00am or from 4:00pm to 12:00am; per Southwest Florida Water Management District Water Restrictions.

Information on water conservation, efficient irrigation practices, and water efficient landscaping can be found at Southwest Florida Water Management District.
