Alachua County Codes – Fertilizer and Irrigation

The Alachua County Environmental Protection Department (ACEPD) has launched a new website to provide information on two recently adopted Codes by the County: the fertilizer application and the landscape irrigation codes.

The Fertilizer Standards and Management Practices Code provides standards for the timing of fertilizer application, training and licensing requirements, fertilizer application rates and fertilizer-free zones. The new County website contains information on the code requirements, links to upcoming training and a list of business that have completed the required training. Click here for more information about the Fertilizer Standards and Management Practices Code.

The Irrigation Conservation Standards and Management Practices Code adopts the existing requirements of the St. John and Suwannee River Water Management Districts. Currently, landscape irrigation is allowed twice a week with no irrigation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Click here for more information about the Irrigation Conservation Standards and Management Practices Code.

For more information, contact Gus Olmos, ACEPD Environmental Program Supervisor at 352-264-6806 or Gus@alachuacounty.us.
