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.

If your residence falls within the blue zone, you can water on Monday nights starting at 8PM until Tuesday morning at 10AM and again on Friday nights from 8PM until Saturday morning at 10AM.

Orange zone residences can water starting on Tuesdays nights at 8PM until Wednesday morning at 10AM and also Saturday nights at 8PM until Sunday mornings at 10AM.
