Year-Round Water Conservation Measures In Effect
Year-round water conservation measures began March 15 in Hendry County, with the start of permanent limits on landscape irrigation. Residents and businesses in many areas will notice no change in irrigation schedules following the transition from emergency restrictions to the Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Conservation Measures. Highlights of the year-round measures for 3-Day-a-Week Watering include:
* Residents and businesses with an odd-numbered street address may water lawns and landscapes on Mondays, Wednesdays and/or Saturdays, only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.
* Residents and businesses with an even-numbered street address no street address or those that irrigate both even and odd addresses within the same zones, which may include multi-family units and homeowners associations, may water lawns and landscapes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and/or Sundays, only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.
* No irrigation, except as noted below, on any day between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
* Irrigation using reclaimed water, rain harvesting systems and various low-volume methods — such as micro-irrigation, container watering and hand watering with a hose and automatic shut-off nozzle — may be conducted at any time.
* Residents should check with the county government to determine if any local ordinances for water restrictions are in place.
