Landscape Irrigation Restrictions
For Collier County, including the City of Naples
Collier County watering days depend on your address: Odd addresses water Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays; Even addresses water Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with all watering restricted to before 8 AM or after 5 PM (or 4 PM depending on source) and no watering on Fridays, with low-volume hand watering permitted anytime. These are Phase I restrictions under the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), applying to all water sources and prohibiting irrigation between 10 AM and 4 PM.
Lawn and Landscaping Irrigation
In order to maintain the health and appearance of your lawn and landscaping, irrigation must be done regularly with the above restrictions providing days and times. The lawn maintenance company that Glen Eden has contracted must be always provided access to your irrigation controls. Deactivating these controls, locking them or otherwise preventing access to our contractors is prohibited.
New landscaping
- Landscaping that has been in place for 60 days or less may be watered Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
- An entire irrigation system zone may only be watered if it contains at least 50 percent new landscaping.
- Targeted low-volume watering of individual new plantings is allowed.
Applying lawn maintenance products
- Landscape irrigation for watering-in fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides is allowed for one application unless the need for more than one application is stated in the directions specified by the product manufacturer.
- Watering-in is allowed only during established watering days and times unless a professional licensed applicator has posted a temporary sign with the date of the application and the date of needed watering-in.

Wednesday is Glen Eden’s day for lawn maintenance. Our lawn and landscaping contractor has two crews that service our development in one day.
IMPORTANT: In case of power failure, there is a backup battery inside your irrigation control box . The ONLY battery to get is a RECHARGEABLE 7.2 volt or 9 volt nickel-metal-hydride battery (Nmh). The correct battery type is important. These batteries have a long life, and are continually recharged in the control box, something an alkaline battery can’t do. One rechargeable Nmh battery will save you from buying and discarding many alkaline batteries. You’ll know when it’s time to change it when there is a power outage and you lose your settings. As a bonus, Nmh batteries are the least harmful to our environment when discarded.
NOTE: Make sure your clock is operating on a schedule compliant with our current water restrictions.
Glen Eden Procedure for Diseased Palm Trees
Homeowners noticing any palm tree in the Community that looks to be dying should contact one or more Board members immediately.
The Board member will email Resort Management as soon as they have been notified so Resort Management can have Green Acres or whoever the Board has chosen examine the tree in question.
If it is determined that the tree is indeed dying due to disease, Resort Management is authorized to email Homeowner of its condition and inform them that the tree will be cut down and the stump removed within 7 days. They will also be informed that they will be responsible for reimbursing the Community for the expense.
