Water restrictions in Lynn Haven, FL — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Lynn Haven is within the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD). The city operates a voluntary reclaimed water program and publishes irrigation conservation guidance - never more than 1 inch per irrigation, no irrigation in rain, install a rain shut-off device.
Lynn Haven falls within the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), which does not have a year-round day-of-week watering schedule like SWFWMD or SJRWMD. The city's Water Conservation page advises: (1) never apply more than 1 inch of water per irrigation; (2) do not irrigate in the rain or if rain has occurred recently; (3) install a rain shut-off device which automatically halts the system after rainfall. Florida Statute 373.62 mandates an automatic rain sensor on any in-ground sprinkler system installed after May 1991. Lynn Haven's reclaimed water customers must comply with FDEP and NWFWMD rules: 75 ft setback from a wetted area to a potable well; no irrigation of vegetable gardens with reclaimed water; existing well must be disconnected when reclaimed service is activated.
F.S. 373.62 rain-sensor mandate enforcement is by code enforcement; Sec. 1-7 fines up to $500. NWFWMD emergency restrictions during drought carry their own fines.
