FL Water Rate Reference (2025)

• Water: $2.80–$5.20 per 1,000 gal (statewide avg $3.85). Tiered rates — higher usage = higher rate.
• Sewer/Wastewater: $3.00–$6.50 per 1,000 gal (avg $4.20). Billed on metered water use.
• Outdoor/Irrigation: some FL utilities have a separate outdoor meter — no sewer charge on irrigation. Check with your utility.
• FL avg household: 6,000 gal/month indoors. Irrigation adds 30–50% more in dry season (Nov–May).
• Water heater savings: HE upgrades also cut electricity/gas — factor in energy savings for total ROI.

FL's 5 Water Management Districts

Each district manages water resources and conservation rebate programs for its region. Many counties also have local utility programs that supplement district rebates.

FL Water Conservation Law (FS 373.227)

• All 5 water management districts must adopt and implement water conservation programs (FS 373.227).
• FS 373.62: all new irrigation systems and modified existing systems must have automatic rain sensor shutoff devices. This is FL law, not optional.
• FS 373.185 (FL-Friendly Landscaping): local governments cannot ban FL-Friendly water-saving practices, even in HOA communities.
• Water restrictions: during declared shortages, districts impose Day-of-Week irrigation schedules (odd/even or day-specific by address).
• Year-round restrictions in most districts: no irrigation between 10 AM and 4 PM; typically 2 days/week max for established landscapes.
