Irrigation in Naples, FL
Who supplies the water decides how a Naples sprinkler system should be set up. The South Florida Water Management District sets a year-round landscape irrigation rule, and local ordinances fill in the days and hours. Inside the City of Naples, many homes can irrigate with reclaimed water, which the city began extending into residential streets in Port Royal around 2006, and the city schedules reclaimed irrigation separately from drinking water. In unincorporated Collier County, the county ordinance covers potable, well and irrigation-quality water alike. Rules also shift with drought: the district put strict watering limits on Lee and Collier counties during the 2026 dry season and rescinded them that June. Hodges designs zones by plant group, uses drip on beds, installs a rain shutoff device, and sets controllers to the schedule your provider publishes. One more city detail: irrigation work in the public right-of-way needs a city permit.

Questions
Which watering days apply to my Naples home?
It depends on your water source and location. City of Naples, Collier County and private-well customers fall under different local rules within the district-wide framework, and schedules change during droughts. Check the current schedule with your provider before Hodges programs the controller.
I am on City of Naples reclaimed water. Is anything different?
Reclaimed water carries some nutrients, so feeding should account for it, and the city publishes separate hours for reclaimed irrigation. Reclaimed lines also shut down occasionally for maintenance, so a controller with a rain sensor and a clear zone map makes those days easier.
Do I need a permit for sprinkler heads near the street?
Inside the City of Naples, installing or maintaining irrigation in the public right-of-way or an easement requires a right-of-way permit. Hodges keeps heads on private property where possible and arranges the permit when the swale has to be covered.
