As western Florida’s drought conditions continue, Pasco County Utilities is using reclaimed water customers to voluntarily limit watering to once a week, according to a news release.
The newly implemented irrigation schedule for reclaimed water irrigation customers is to help consumers and the community save water.
“The lack of rainfall is straining Pasco’s reclaimed water supply and conservation is key to maximizing our supply,” said Pasco Utilities Director David Allen, in the release.
“By switching to once-a-week irrigation, more reclaimed water customers will be able to irrigate and maintain their landscapes, as well,” said Allen.
Beginning on May 15, and until further notice, residents should reset their irrigation controllers to the new one-day-per-week watering schedule. It is important, too, to water only between midnight and 8 a.m., and only on the new designated day and only once that day.
The new reclaimed water schedule is as follows:
If your house number ends in 0-1, water only on Monday; 2-3, Tuesday; 4-5, Wednesday; 6-7, Thursday; 8-9, Friday; and mixed address or no address, Friday.
Year-round irrigation for potable, well and surface water customers remains in place in Pasco County between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m.
