Reclaimed Water, Storm Surge, and Watering Days
St. Petersburg built the first water reclamation system in the United States, in service since 1977, and it irrigates more than 10,250 residential lawns. If your street has reclaimed water, new sod gets its establishment watering without drawing on drinking water. Check reclaimed water in St. Pete (opens in a new tab).
Hurricane Helene pushed a record surge of more than six feet into Shore Acres in September 2024, and left lawns in low-lying neighborhoods across the city sitting in salt water. Replacing a surge-damaged lawn starts with removing the dead turf and checking the soil; our hurricane soil guide walks through it.
Before your delivery day, check the city’s current watering schedule (opens in a new tab) so the new sod gets water right away.
