PLANT CITY Commissioners adopted an emergency ordinance Monday extending mandatory water restrictions ordered by the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

The Brooksville-based agency voted Sept. 30 to extend its current water shortage order through Feb. 27.

The order restricts outdoor lawn and landscape irrigation to one day per week.

The region is still impacted by the two-year drought and portions of the 16-county district did not receive sufficient rain during the annual wet season, states background on the ordinance.

As of Sept. 22, groundwater levels and stream flows in the region have peaked and are beginning to decline, the agency reports.
