restrictions in the 16-county area effective this Saturday.
In
Monroe County, golf courses must cut irrigation by 15 percent and
residential lawn-watering has been reduced from three days to two.
Watering
is prohibited from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, but allowed otherwise
on Thursdays and Sundays for even addresses and on Wednesdays and
Saturdays for odd addresses.
