All residents in Cape Coral are allowed to water two days each week regardless of the source for the irrigation water. If you use the City's dual-water system or a private well, you must follow the two-day watering schedule. See the schedule below for your days and times.
The "address" is the last number of your "house" address. For example, if your address is 1926 SW 15th Avenue, the "6" in 1926 is the guiding number.
