Email from JEA to SPVCA for all of St. Johns County Mandatory Watering Restrictions Keep It Flowing for All With increasingly high temperatures and little significant rainfall recently, JEA continues to experience exceptionally high demand for our potable and reclaimed water supply, causing areas within our service territory to experience lower water pressure. As a result, we strongly encourage all potable (for irrigation) and reclaimed water customers to follow the mandatory watering restrictions set forth by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). These mandatory restrictions ensure the efficient use of water for landscape irrigation, allowing enough water to maintain healthy landscapes year-round. They specify how much water may be used, the amount of water that may be applied, and appropriate watering days and times for residential and nonresidential locations. These days depend on whether your address ends in an odd or even number, and on the time of year. With continued hot weather in the forecast, one thing we can all do is conserve the water we use, to ensure you and your neighbors have the water you need, when you need it. How You Can Help • Follow your watering days. • Set your irrigation timer to water only between 8 p.m and 4 a.m. Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day, which helps avoid evaporation and runoff that can waste up to 50% of the water you use. • Identify and repair leaks. Find tips on how to test for leaks at jea.com/waterleak.
