"We have plenty of water, we just can't maintain the pressure in the system because of increased demands," said Mike Mylett, the county's utility director.
The county said it is working to return water pressure to normal levels but due to multiple external factors such as the dry weather and customer usage, it is difficult to estimate when that may occur.
The majority of the demand for water in Sarasota County is being used for irrigation, Mylett said. Because reclaimed water systems are running low, residents are turning to potable water to water lawns, wash cars and to pressure wash.
