Brandon Conditions
Hillsborough Is on One Watering Day Too, Wells Included
Hillsborough County is under the Southwest Florida Water Management District’s Modified Phase III order, extended on September 22, 2026 through March 31, 2027. The order applies to every resident, including those on private wells. Tampa Bay Water’s regional reservoir stood at about half its capacity on September 20, so the District expects enforcement to continue: utilities issue citations without a warning first.
New sod still goes in. The order grants a 60-day establishment period, any day for the first 30 days and three days a week for the next 30, and bars HOAs from enforcing standards that require more water. Register the variance with the District before the install; our establishment variance guide walks through it. Hillsborough County can set stricter hours than the District baseline, so check your watering day (opens in a new tab) and the county page before delivery day.
Under a one-day schedule, the variety matters more than usual. Bahia is the only grass we grow that lives without permanent irrigation once established; the St. Augustines, EMPIRE Zoysia, and Bimini Bermuda all need a working system.

Can I install new sod in Hillsborough County during the water restrictions?
Yes. The Southwest Florida Water Management District’s one-day-per-week order covers all of Hillsborough County through March 31, 2027, private wells included, but new lawns get a 60-day establishment period: any day for 30 days, then three days a week.

Our guide to the District’s establishment variance has the steps; check Hillsborough County’s own page for any stricter hours.

Floratam St. Augustine for a sunny, irrigated yard; Bitterblue or ProVista St. Augustine under oaks; Bahia if you have no sprinklers; Bimini Bermuda for heavy traffic in full sun; EMPIRE Zoysia for a dense, fine-bladed lawn. Every grass needs at least four hours of good sun a day.
