Dear Members,

   You are cordially invited to attend the NCFWWA Annual Christmas Party on Thursday, December 19 th ,2024 at the McIntosh Community Center. Please bring a dessert to share. The meal will be catered by Pearl’s Country Store. Join our White Elephant Gift Exchange by bringing a wrapped gift, ten-dollar value, marked Man/Woman/Boy/Girl. Wendy Myers has prepared her famous Cellophane Ball Game
that is always a big hit.
As we close out 2024 and enter 2025, I’d like to thank you all for a year that I’ll never forget as President of this association. We’ve grown in members, knowledge, and comradery. I hope I have held true to my promise to be a champion for Water Well Contractors. I will continue to advocate and use my voice to
promote your best interest this upcoming year. With your support, we can make an impact in the water well industry!

Hello my Fellow Members,

   As we approach the end of the year 2024 makes me think about how much we have all
accomplished together as an association. Our attendance and membership numbers have grown . From all the contributions made, to a new water scholarship set to help our future Drillers . Our upgraded trailer and work put into it and the old one being sold .We have also provided 8 continuing education courses this year. We have had the opportunity to voice our concerns and keeping up when it comes to new rulemaking being made. I am excited to announce that we have 10 continuing education courses in the works for 2025 . Please see the new calendar in the newsletter. As your Vice president I will continue to strive us to success .
With all your contributions donations made to our donation meal bucket we will be
celebrating our Christmas catered by Pearls County store and BBQ. See you all at Macintosh.

see you all there .
Kindly Robin Hook
Vice President

Suwannee River Water Management District Update



Suwannee River Water
Management District Update
November 2024

FALL BACK to EASTERN STANDARD TIME
Daylight Saving Time ended on Nov. 3 and the extra hour
of rest was greatly appreciated, as is the cooler weather.
With the cooler weather and shorter days, our yard plants
and landscape growth has slowed or gone completely
dormant. This is the time of year when we all “fall back” our
irrigation systems to water no more than once a week.
Cutting back our irrigation during this time of the year not
only saves water but also strengthens lawns and plants by
reducing the risk of mold, fungus, weak roots, weeds and
pests.
The District watering restrictions during Eastern Standard
Time (Nov through mid-March) limit irrigation to one day
per week as follows:
 Saturday for residential addresses ending in odd numbers or
with no address
 Sunday for residential addresses ending in even numbers
 Tuesday for non-residential properties
 Irrigation is not allowed between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. unless
you’re using micro or drip irrigation.

[40B-2.041(9)(d), F.A.C.]
Let’s all do our part to keep our North Central Florida water
resources strong into the future, for nature and for people.
