Dear Members,

   I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! As we kick off this
year, I want to encourage everyone to renew your memberships and newsletter advertisements.
Your participation is essential to the success of this association. Remember, our voice is only as
strong as the number of members we represent.
This month, we invite you to join us in Gainesville at the Freedom Community Center for a CE
course on Water Filtration presented by Brent Burke of Rusco/Vu-Flow. Attendees will earn 1
SB credit.
In this issue, you'll find the 2025 calendar, which includes dates and times for all our meetings
and continuing education courses. Please note that some meeting times may vary as we
accommodate the schedules of our hosts and speakers.
Stay tuned for more details about the upcoming FGWA Membership Meeting in February, to be
held in Ocala. This meeting will offer 2 CE credits for attendees.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement!

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.
