LIPP Tips

Utility Wisdom From Pembroke Pines Locals

⚡

FPL summer bills are no joke — budget for July through September

A 2,000 sq ft home in Pembroke Pines can run $250–$400/month in summer. The biggest factor is your A/C — set it to 78°F during the day when you're out, use ceiling fans (they make it feel 4° cooler), and have your A/C serviced annually. FPL offers free energy audits — take them up on it. Hurricane preparedness →

Trash day changes on holidays — and bulk pickup is your best friend

Waste Pro serves Pembroke Pines with twice-weekly pickup. After a holiday, your pickup day shifts by one day for the rest of the week. Bulk trash (furniture, appliances, large items) is collected monthly — check the city calendar. No, they won't take your old refrigerator without scheduling it first. Recycling & waste guide →

💧

Your water bill includes more than water — and lawn watering has rules

Pembroke Pines water bills bundle water, sewer, and stormwater fees. Outdoor watering is restricted to specific days based on your address (odd/even) and hours (before 10 AM or after 4 PM) year-round. Violations carry fines. A rain sensor on your sprinkler system pays for itself in the first dry season.
