Due to the record setting drought, the supply of re-claimed water available for purchase from the County for irrigation of the community, Club, and residential landscaping, has been reduced by 30%.  It is expected to remain at lower levels for at least another month. At the same time, the use of water by Gulf Harbour residents in the Community has increased. Over the past 12 days the Community has used over 3.6 million gallons of water in excess of that supplied by the County.

The water level in the re-claim water surge lake (located near the North Gate by #8 Golf Hole) is now lower than the level necessary for the pumps to operate reliably.  Consequently, water usage on a daily basis cannot now exceed that supplied by the County, and water rationing must be instituted to manage this situation until such time as we get relief from the drought from the summer rains.

Beginning immediately:

The golf course will set their pumps to use 30% less water 

The Master Association will reduce water consumption 30% by instituting the following procedures effective immediately.

The pumps will only be operated between the hours of 12am and 5am  to make water available to those communities scheduled to receive irrigation water on a particular day.

The pumps will be operated between 7am and 12pm on Monday & Thursday to facilitate irrigation system maintenance in the community.

All residents will be required to adhere to their allotted 2 days per week watering schedule as published on the Master Association web site.

 No new landscaping will be planted by the Club or Master Association  and encourage residents and communities to do the same during this period.

The Community will receive updates on the situation by e-mail, websites, channel 95 & bulletin boards
