2012Irrigation Alert: Protect Your Pump from Damage
If you use an adjacent canal or lake for irrigation water, you should do the following:
• Inspect your suction line weekly to ensure there is sufficient water to completely cover the end of the pipe.
• If there is insufficient water, residents may choose to override the automated timer and operate the pump manually.
• Where possible, lower the suction line if there is sufficient water available below the current end of the line.
To help conserve this valuable resource, residents should adhere to the South Florida Water Management District’s mandatory water restrictions and future irrigation schedules. For any questions about watering schedules or what you can do to protect your irrigation system, call Bill Conerly, Wellington’s Operations Manager, at (561) 753-2576.
