Reclaimed Water Schedule in Ormond Beach

While the local irrigation ordinance does not restrict scheduling windows for irrigation systems supplied with reclaimed water, the municipalities that supply the reclaimed water often impose their own restrictions.

The City of Ormond Beach controls the availability of reclaimed water by regulating the pressure supplied.  What does this mean for your irrigation programming? You must coordinate your irrigation systems schedule with the reclaimed water availability.  If you program your irrigation system to run when the city isn’t supplying water pressure, your lawn will not get irrigated.

If you’ve determined that you rely upon reclaimed water for irrigation, you must be aware of the following schedules to ensure your irrigation system has water supply when it is scheduled to run.
