High Bill, Leak Check, Pool Fill and Adjustment Forms

Common high-bill causes

The City FAQ lists pressure washing, extensive outdoor water use, filling a pool and leaks on the property as common reasons for increased usage.

Adjustment timing

Pool fill may qualify for a sewer adjustment once every 12 months, and property leaks may qualify for a leak adjustment once every 12 months.

Use usage alerts

The online portal can monitor daily water usage and set alerts, which helps catch leaks before the next bill is issued.

Watering Schedule, Irrigation Restrictions and Reclaimed Water

NE restriction area

The Water Conservation page states SFWMD eased restrictions in northeastern Cape Coral effective May 4, 2026, moving the affected area to one irrigation day per week.

Year-round schedule

Outside special restriction areas, Cape Coral lists a two-day-per-week year-round schedule based on the last digit of the property address.

Check the map first

Before watering, use the City’s restriction map because the NE emergency shortage area can follow a stricter one-day schedule.
