Planned Reclaimed Water Outage – Eastern Service Area • Winter Springs, FL From Thursday, October 8, 2025, through Friday, October 9, 2026, City of Winter Springs Utilities crews will replace a valve in one of the main reclaimed irrigation lines serving the eastern service area. As a result, customers in the eastern service area will experience a temporary interruption of reclaimed water service. This repair is scheduled to take advantage of the forecasted rainfall for the rest of the week, helping minimize the impact on customers by ensuring irrigation needs are naturally met. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these necessary upgrades to our reclaimed system.
