Is there still a water band? If so why? Looks to me like if villagers would all water there lawns. The flooded areas would recede?

The OP asked a simple question. The answer is yes, there still is a ban. That might change but as of today, yes.

It's nice to see someone be kind and just answer the question.

Yes. It does happen on occasion.

By keeping this surcharge in place the water district has caused the flooding problem to be worse than necessary. They have created an environment that has increased the damages in TV by 100's of thousands of $$$$$. From about a month before Irma and to the current day there is NO irrigation water issue. If they were to argue there still is than a ban on new construction should be put in place immediately.

The ban and continued building should not go hand in hand. Either the water district is using the surcharge as a revenue rape of all of us, or the shortage is real and TV should stop building.

You can't have it both ways.

OK, I'll bite. Please explain your reasoning for such a statement.

Don't you find it amazing?

I have used my irrigation system twice since the water ban. Why? Because it rains nearly every day and I don't need too.

Bingo! I turned my off on June 1 and haven't turned in back on since.

Because folks were not watering as much as usual because of the surcharge and ban, therefor the retention ponds were much higher than usual before Irma, which is where the irrigation water comes from, than with Irma the ponds overflowed and caused a lot of flooding and damage.

And for those that turned off the irrigation when the ban was put in place, I guess you don't care should you lose your lawn. Only costs about $20 grand to replace it. Yes we had a lot of rain and that may have prevented lawn damage, but suppose you were on vacation and it didn't rain?

Not trying to be smart... I didn't know if there is still a ban, but regardless, the statement the OP says doesn't make any sense. Running my irrigation would have absolutely no affect on the pond levels.

Where does the water come from?
