Revised Emergency Water Restrictions
Modifications to the
South Florida Water Management District’s emergency water restrictions
became effective Friday, April 18, 2008, allowing two-day-a-week
landscape watering for Pompano Beach.
Residents and businesses of Pompano Beach are limited to a
two-day-per-week landscape irrigation schedule with two “watering
windows”
Odd street
addresses may irrigate lawns and landscapes on Wednesdays and
Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
Even street
addresses may irrigate lawns and landscapes on Thursdays and Sundays
from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and/or 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
Hand-watering with
one hose fitted with an automatic shut-off nozzle is allowed for 10
minutes per day for landscape stress relief and to prevent plant
die-off. Additional watering days and times are allocated for the
establishment of new lawns and landscapes.
No restrictions apply
to other outside water uses, such as for car and boat washing, pressure
cleaning of paved surfaces, decorative fountains and water-based
recreation (e.g. swimming pools, water slides). Landscape irrigation
using 100-percent reclaimed water is allowed any day except Fridays and
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. all other days of the week. Detailed water
restrictions are outlined in the signed orders available at
www.sfwmd.gov. If you have any questions about the current water
restrictions call the South Florida Water Management District hot line
at 800.662.8876 or the City of Pompano Beach Customer Service Department
at 954.786.4637.

The
Vulnerable Population Registration was designed as a joint partnership
between all municipalities and Broward County to assist emergency
responders to better plan for future recoveries from hurricanes and
other disasters. Registering into the database should not be considered
as a guarantee that you will be provided services or be placed on a
priority list for emergency responders; however, it will help us to be
better prepared to respond after a disaster. Click on the button
above to register or visit
www.broward.org/atrisk for more information.
