Update — November 2, 2026: Winter Garden’s official October 23 notice says reclaimed water is operable and available citywide again following repairs to power-surge damage at the plant. This supersedes the outage instruction described in our original October 22 report.

The city permits irrigation to resume subject to its applicable watering schedule. The linked restoration notice displays a schedule explicitly labeled as valid until November 1; that expired schedule is not reproduced here as current guidance.

Original reporting context: The city’s October 19 update said reclaimed irrigation water remained unavailable after a September 28 power surge damaged plant facilities. Our October 22 report reflected that earlier notice. The subsequent October 23 restoration announcement changes the service status.

This update concerns City of Winter Garden reclaimed-water irrigation service. It is not a countywide order or a drinking-water advisory.
