New Watering Restrictions

Mar 05, 2009

Effective March 2009, the St. Johns River Water Management has new rules place limits on landscape irrigation, including the watering of lawns. It will be limited to two days a week during Daylight Saving Time and one day a week during Eastern Standard Time. The rule also limits the amount of watering to three-quarters of an inch per irrigation zone, and no more than one hour per zone. The new rules also require odd-numbered addresses to water on Wednesday and Saturday, and even-numbered addresses to water on Thursday and Sunday. Those with no address will water on Thursday and Sunday as well.
