CAPE CORAL, Fla. — The City of Cape Coral approves a year-round two-day watering schedule that will go into effect right away.
The new watering schedule applies to all properties in Cape Coral regardless if residents are on private well or city water.
The new schedule will give people more time slots and reduce the demand by 40% – so residents will have the same irrigation but this new schedule will help the city with improving water demand, pressure, and flow.
