1. Users conducting landscape irrigation with reclaimed water are not restricted.

2. Landscape irrigation is prohibited between the hours of 10:00am and 4:00 pm, except as otherwise provided herein.

3. Irrigation of existing landscaping shall comply with the following provisions:

a. Even addresses, installations with irrigation systems that irrigate both even and odd addresses within the same zones, such as multi-family units and homeowners' associations, and rights-of-way or other locations with no address, shall have the opportunity to accomplish necessary landscape irrigation only on Thursday and Sunday.

b. Odd addresses shall have the opportunity to accomplish necessary landscape irrigation only on Wednesday and Saturday.
