I hope the district monitors by the amount of water used. My area of TV has a lot of clay under the surface, so water tends to run off or pool. As a result, a lot of my zoysia is infested with torpedo grass.Torpedo grass loves wet conditions, and the clay soil creates just that situation with normal watering. After discussing this with my lawn maintenance company, their suggestion was to divide my sprinkler times by 4 or 5 and water four days a week at the reduced times. So, my system may be running on an "off" day but my total water use will actually be less than if I ran it twice a week at the regular run times per zone.
They will also be spraying an herbicide that may control the torpedo grass. It will discolor the zoysia but it should recover in a few weeks. |

So what's to prevent you from watering off your potable water which has no limits?

I am learning so many things. In some parts of the country a rule is a rule. In other parts a rule is a suggestion.

Who says that has no restrictions? The restriction is on lawn watering not source. At least as far as I can discern. And the official page: http://sumtercountyfl.gov/index.aspx?nid=428 also says twice per week now. |

The VCCD drivers on the mid night shift report report improper watering to their control center. The follow ups are done at the end of each month..

Do they count how many showers U take?
I think that's a bit paranoid.

Our deed prohibits using a sprinkler attached by hose to the faucet on the house. It's apparently OK to stand there with a hose and water, but not put a sprinkler on the end and leave it on the ground.

I believe there is a shortage of water about the same as Climate Change is being caused by the pollution from my car and/or the 95% clean coal fired power plant located wherever. I use to work for the "Government" and know first hand how "Government" can and usually does overreact to various issues. If 'they" were consistent regarding water restrictions that would be one thing but the fact that less than a mile away one government agency says you can water as much as you want but where I live another says something else makes no sense when we are both getting water from the exactly same aquifer. But because I was for years just a poor humble public servant---guess what----- I usually follow the rules. Like most people----USUALLY!
