In Sumter County, even numbered addresses can water before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on Thursday and/or before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on Sundays. Odd-numbered addresses can water before 10 a.m. on Wednesdays and/or before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Saturdays."
Homes north of 466 are the only homes (that I know of) that use potable water for irrigation. That being the case, why would it matter if the homes that used reclaimed water need to cut back? Is there some other use for reclaimed water, or is there a danger of running out of it?

How does regulating WHEN we water reduce how much we use?
And, what is the benefit of having half of the homes all using water at the same time, four times a week?
