The city of St. Petersburg lowered its reclaimed water pressure flow during the heat of the day to conserve water. Residents would still have enough water for irrigating during the night and early morning when the water pressure is normal. Lawn watering is permitted three times weekly during certain hours. April and May are the months when reclaimed water demand is at its highest while supply is lowest.
