Tampa, FL February 8, 2010 - When Tampa residents reset their clocks to 'spring forward' into daylight saving time on March 14, they will have another change to make. Tampa City Council approved Code changes last week that will enact new irrigation days for locations in Tampa on the same day as the time change.
Beginning March 14, locations in Tampa will have the following once-per-week irrigation schedule:
• addresses ending in 0 or 1 - Monday
• addresses ending in 2 or 3 - Tuesday
• addresses ending in 4 or 5 - Wednesday
• addresses ending in 6 or 7 - Thursday
• addresses ending in 8 or 9, locations with no address (common areas, entry areas), and locations with mixed addresses (office complexes, shopping centers) - Friday
• allowed irrigation times remain at once between 12:01 a.m. and 8 a.m. or between
6 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on the designated day.
Tampa's current once-per-week irrigation schedule under Emergency Ordinance 2009-81 will remain in effect until 12:01 a.m. on March 14, 2010.
