Landscape Irrigation

Just two days can get us to a better environment and save more than a billion gallons of water a year! Together we can conserve water and avoid wasteful irrigation practices. Read our water conservation ordinance here: ftlcity.info/greenlawn

Fertilizer Use Prohibited

The application and use of fertilizer containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus is prohibited during the rainy season from June 1 to September 30. To protect the environment, limit stormwater runoff, reduce the potential for algal blooms, and improve the quality of waterways. One of the main causes of algal blooms is excess nutrients in our waterways. During the rainy season, fertilizer containing these nutrients will run off into our waterways due to the frequency and severity of rainfall.
