The reclamation ponds do not have an infinite amount of water in them and Florida has just gotten out of a drought situation. As has been mentioned, you can always hand water (your outdoor spigots are linked to the house water, not the reclaimed water, of which there is more water). Of course, those in the northern part of TV are not quite so limited since they don't use reclaimed water.
As suggested elsewhere in this thread ..... water for the same amount of mins per week, just divided into 3 or 4 times a week and not 2.

However, we also pay the sewage surcharge on every gallon that goes though the irrigation system.
