Staff Maximizes the Value of Surplus Items SFWMD Rescinds Water Shortage Warning for Glades County and Portions of Highlands County Fri April 17, 2026 Category News Today, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) rescinded the Water Shortage Warning that was issued on Feb. 5, 2026, for Glades County and portions of Highlands County. Read the rescission of the Water Shortage Warning SFWMD 2026-042. Recent storms during the month of March and April produced over 4.27 inches of rain. Based on the increased rainfall, wetter than normal weather forecasts and improved surface water conditions, sufficient water is expected to be available in Lake Istokpoga and the Indian Prairie Basin to meet anticipated demands through the transition to the wet season. In addition, surface water levels in the Indian Prairie Basin canal system in Glades County and portions of Highlands County are above the required minimum elevation for water supply. Even though the warning has been lifted in Glades County and portions of Highlands County, the SFWMD continues to encourage residents, visitors, and businesses to conserve water and limit irrigation as South Florida is still in the dry season. Residents can use these simple tips to save water both inside and outside their home: All landscape irrigation should comply with the allowed days and times established in your local government’s year-round landscape irrigation ordinance. Visit Lawn Watering Restrictions to learn more. Check irrigation timers to ensure settings are correct and rain sensors are working properly. Check irrigation systems to ensure they are working properly and test and repair broken pipes and damaged sprinkler heads. Fix leaks. Finding and fixing water leaks conserves water, saves money and protects your home from damage. Landscape the Florida-Friendly Way by planting low maintenance plants using environmentally sustainable practices. Read more Simple Steps to Save Water. SFWMD staff will continue to monitor water usage and water levels and will keep the public informed if conditions worsen. Water supply utilities with alternative water supply sources should continue to use these sources to the maximum extent practicable. Conserving water year-round is an integral part of managing and protecting South Florida’s water supplies today and for future generations. The SFWMD proactively develops long-term water supply plans to monitor, evaluate and identify water sources and projects to meet the future water needs throughout its 16-county region. The voluntary Water Shortage Warning issued by the SFWMD on Feb. 5, 2026, for Collier and Lee counties is still in effect and more information can be found by visiting SFWMD.gov/WaterShortage.
