Reclaimed water won't run so freely

Faced with dry weather and growing demand, Pinellas County utilities officials will limit reclaimed water for more than 2,600 North Pinellas customers to three days a week starting Wednesday. Customers south of Alderman Road and west of U.S. 19 N will have reclaimed water available on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Customers elsewhere in North Pinellas will have reclaimed water available on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The county last week urged reclaimed water users to curtail their use. To receive a package of tips on maintaining a healthy lawn while using water wisely, call (727) 464-4000 and tell the representative "I want a healthy lawn."
