Jacksonville residents are now limited to watering their lawns just one day a week.
The end of Daylight Saving Time marks the start of irrigation restrictions that run each year from the first Sunday of November to the second Sunday of March.
Residential properties with addresses that end in an odd number or don't have an address at all can water their lawns on Saturdays. This also includes residential addresses with letter designations between N and Z, such as 104P John Doe St.
Residential properties with addresses that end in an even number or that have a letter designation between A and M will be allowed to water their lawns on Sundays.
Businesses and other property owners are limited to irrigating their lawns on Tuesdays.
The city asks for home and property-owners not to irrigate lawns between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Violations of the city's irrigation ordinances carry fines up to $250.
According to city's Environmental Quality Division, the restrictions are meant to conserve Jacksonville's water supply and protect the St. Johns River from excessive fertilizer and nutrients washing into the waterway, which are partially to blame for toxic algae blooms.
