Shutdown of Citywide Reuse Irrigation System
The City of Cape Coral’s reclaimed water (reuse) irrigation system is experiencing an unplanned shutdown due to a reported reuse main break Cape Coral. City crews are actively working to complete repairs.
During this time, residents should expect significantly reduced or complete loss of irrigation water pressure. The shutdown is expected to extend into the authorized irrigation hours tonight and into tomorrow morning. Repairs are anticipated to be completed by midday tomorrow.
Tonight’s and tomorrow morning’s reuse irrigation service will be impacted for customers on the following schedules:
• Addresses ending in 9, permitted to irrigate on Thursday and Sunday, 8 to 11:59 p.m.
• Addresses ending in 1, permitted to irrigate on Monday and Thursday, midnight to 4 a.m.
• Addresses ending in 2, permitted to irrigate on Monday and Thursday, 4 to 8 a.m.
Residents are asked to monitor their systems and, if possible, temporarily shut off automatic irrigation timers to avoid running systems without adequate pressure.
