Every house on the street had a day to water based on their address. After reading the Univ of Fl extension news online, I changed to 4:30am for awhile then compromised at 3:30. I don't know why they came out with this new watering schedule but it goes against all the literature.
I know nothing about watering schedules. I'm generally a follow-the-rules sort of person and so, if the official schedule says to do it then, that's when I do it.

In Lake County odd numbered house have two days to water I forget the days let's say Wednesday and Saturday, even houses say Tuesday and Friday. I assume the water pressure would be higher other days? What is the penalty for watering on an off day?

The reason to water in a.m. Rather than p.m. is that plants absorb water in daytime. That means if watered at night, the roots are soaked but not benefitting.

The reason to not water in daytime, it gets mighty hot and windy, evaporating your precious agua.
Jim Davis' info is University of Florida research based!
