Isn't irrigation water reclaimed water? If so, no restriction?
South of 466 the irrigation is primarily reclaimed water, held in retention ponds, so

"These restrictions apply to the use of wells and surface sources such as ponds, rivers and canals, in addition to utility-supplied water."

That being said, the rules are not clearly written. It also makes little sense that you are permitted to stand outside and water your plants for 12 hours, but cannot turn on that sprinkler zone for 2 minutes.
