Florida Irrigation Wells: Watering Restrictions Still Apply (St. Johns Example)

This piece is short on purpose. We could verify only the St. Johns River Water Management District FAQ. A UF/IFAS page we opened did not cover wells or permits.

What the district FAQ says

Restrictions apply to water from ground or surface water, a private well or pump, or a public or private utility. A private irrigation well is not an exemption.
During Eastern Standard Time one watering day per week is allowed; during daylight saving time, two days per week. In December to February, turf is usually dormant and every other week is described as enough.
Vegetable gardens may be irrigated before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. with no day limit. Hand-held hoses, micro-spray, drip and bubbler systems are allowed any time.
Newly planted grass and plants are exempt (details on the district's restriction page).
Reclaimed water is allowed any time under district rules, but local governments may restrict it.
