Tampa Bay Water is urging residents of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties to conserve water due to an 11-inch rainfall deficit and declining reservoir levels. New restrictions limit outdoor watering to once weekly, with penalties for non-compliance, while encouraging indoor conservation measures like reducing laundry use and fixing leaks. The desalination plant provides 6% of regional water, highlighting the importance of reservoirs during the dry season.
