Time to Adjust those Irrigation Controllers!


The environment and welfare of your lawn and landscape has always been of the greatest importance to us. The St. Johns River Water Management District requires that all irrigation systems be adjusted to water only once per week for the duration of the winter season. This is so that we do not overwater our lawns and landscape, which require very little water during the cooler months. The residential schedule for watering is as follows:

*Water only when needed and not between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.*

Odd Numbered Residential Houses

· Wednesday and Saturday (March-November)

· Saturday only (November-March)

Even Numbered Residential Houses

· Thursday and Sunday (March-November)

· Sunday only (November-March)

Commercial Properties

· Tuesday and Friday (March-November)

· Friday only (November-March)

If you need any assistance in changing the settings of the irrigation controller to follow the watering ordinance, please take advantage of our Irrigation Adjustment Service. During the brief cooler season when irrigation systems do not run as often, it is easy to miss breaks and other issues that reduce the efficiency of your sprinklers. If not taken care of, these issues can cause your lawn added stress and damage as the summer approaches. If you have noticed a problem with your irrigation system, or just want to make sure it is working properly, give us a call at (904) 743-8272.
