WATER RESTRICTIONS PHASE II
Beginning April 18, 2008, residents in Broward, Collier, Miami- Dade, Monroe, St. Lucie and in coastal areas of Lee, Martin and Palm Beach may irrigate twice a week as follows:
Lawn irrigation for all property sizes is allowed two days a week on the following schedule:
• Residents and businesses with odd-numbered street addresses may water
lawns and landscapes on Wednesdays and Saturdays from:
12 a.m. to 10
a.m. and/or from 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
• Residents and businesses with even-numbered street addresses, no street
address or irrigate both even and odd address within the same zones,
including multi-family units and homeowners associations, may water
lawns and landscapes on Thursdays and Sundays from:
12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or from 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
For the most efficient use of water, residents should avoid irrigating during both
time periods on the same day.
Does this new schedule include the City of West Palm Beach?
Yes. Residents of the City of West Palm Beach and customers outside of the city
limits who receive their water utility services from the City of West Palm Beach
can also follow the new twice-weekly watering schedule.
How much of these expanded watering opportunities should I use to irrigate
my lawn?
Lawns and landscapes need to receive only three-quarters to an inch of water
each week. This means it can take as little as two hours of irrigation per week to
keep the lawn healthy, and there may be no need to water the lawn at all if it has
rained during the week.
