In an effort to help alleviate the growing over-demand of the Florida Aquifer, the City of Oviedo employs a full-time Water Conservation Officer to enforce water restriction requirements as well as to educate the public on ways to conserve water.

Although it may at times be somewhat of an inconvenience to residents, watering restrictions are not imposed without an extreme cause or need. Everyday, more and more demand is placed on the Florida Aquifer system to supply more and more water to the residents of Florida. If left unchecked and unregulated, the Aquifers underneath the Florida soil would be exhausted to the point of running out of fresh water and causing salt water intrusion.
