NORTH PINELLAS COUNTY RECLAIMED WATER
SYSTEM RETURNING TO FULL OPERATION
Conservation Still Encouraged

July 21, 2006

The North Pinellas County reclaimed water system returned to full operation Saturday morning July 22, 2006. With the return of seasonal rains and customers’ efforts to conserve during the recent drought, the reclaimed water system in North County is now capable of operating at full capacity.

Reclaimed water customers are still encouraged to continue conservation by limiting irrigation to every other day as requested by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. The voluntary watering on alternate days should follow the schedule based on house numbers:

• If your house number ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8), water on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
• If your house number ends in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), water on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
  (Note: Sunday is a watering day for all users)

Residents should refrain from irrigating with reclaimed water between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid higher evaporation rates.

Pinellas County Utilities appreciates everyone’s patience and understanding during the expanded shut down. A letter is being prepared for current North County reclaimed water customers addressing pressure issues that resulted from the extended drought. If customers have further questions, they may call the reclaimed water hot line (727) 464-4273.
