The DRY SEASON has been extremely dry. As you can see, we are not getting the year started on a very good not. Conservation is vey important. Watering once a week and watching the weather so you can turn off your sprinkling system is critical.
Know how much water you are using and please try to keep your consumption under 150 gallons per person per day, including your irrigation. Your cooperation will go a long way to protecting Florida's most valuable resource.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRACTICE CONSERVATION.
