Hillsborough County, Florida-- Hillsborough officials announced Wednesday that they'll be enforcing tighter water restrictions throughout the county as of March 13 because of below normal rainfall, reduced river levels and increasing water supply concerns.

All residents will be limited to watering their lawns once a week, and officials said this rule even applies to those who are not public utilities customers.

An exception will be made for reclaimed water customers, but they are also being urged to use as little as possible.
