Brief Presentation to City Council
Regarding Water Well Levels and Rainfall
26 May 2004 ! D. Fisher
Water Well Levels
As Measured in City:
The City measured water well levels at three (3) locations eadier this week (Toledo Street,
Filbert Park, and Barker Street). Current readings indicate well levels at those locations
have fallen from 3 to 5 feet since January 2004 (within the past four to five months).
Elsewhere:
Reported documentation from other locations (50 Floridan aquifer wells measured by
USGS in Northeastern and Central Florida) show well levels have fallen from zero to 6
feet within recent months.
Rainfall
As Measured in City:
The City measures rainfall at the Cemetery. Rainfall records there show Iow to nagligible
rainfall since early January 2004. Local rainfall has been definitely below normal for the
past five months.
Elsewhere:
City measurements of rainfall at the Cemetery indicate agreement / correlation with rainfall
measurements at Melbourne and Vere Beach during the recent months (at least 3 inches
below normal in Melbourne just for the month of April 2004).
The Flmida Forestry Division KBDI (Keetch-Byram Drought index) indicates a normal
index of dryness (400 to 500 on a scale of 0 to 800, 800 being driest) at this time for this
area; i.e., dry but nat very dry.
Background
The St. Johns River Water Management Distdct (SJRWMD) adopted a water conservation
rule in 1991 to encourage the efficient use of water, irrigating before 10 a.m. or after 4
p.m. does lawn and landscape the most good, allowing water to soak into the ground to
the roots of the plants. Watedng during the middle part of the day, or the hottest part of the
day, wastes water because most of the water evaporates.
Though Florida usually receives about 50 inches of rein each year, only a small amount
seeps into the ground to replenish underground aquifers. Aquifers are the source of 90
percent of drinking water in north and east-central Florida.
"Fickle weather cycles with abundant rein followed by drought cannot replace the millions
of gallons of water that are used daily by a growing population. The efficient use of water
is necessary now -- and for the future. Saving Florida's water resources is a vital
responsibility that will take everyone's participation to be successful." - SJRWMD

Brief Presentation to City Council
Regarding Water Well Levels and Rainfall
26 May 2004 I D. Fisher
Re.qulations in Place
SJRWMD:
SJRWMD has had a year-round water conservation rule in place since 1991. The rule applies to
eveB~one within the District who uses water outdoors, regardless of whether the water comes from
a private well, surface water, or a water supply utility.
SJRWMD permits waterinq between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. under the following
conditions:
· Irrigation using Iow-volume or micro-irrigation methods such as soaker hoses,
ddp irrigation, micmjets, or a hand-held hose with automatic shut-off nozzle
· Irrigation using reclaimed water (provided signs indicating such use are displayed
on the property)
· When the use of water dudng these hours is specifically authorized in a permit
issued by the District
· When water is used to establish new landscaping. Such use is limited to the
following:
o One-time, 30-day pedod for new lawns, landscapes, agricultural crops
and nursery stock
o One-time, 60-day pedod for newly seeded or spdgged golf courses,
provided irrigation is limited to the amount necessary for plant
establishment
· When water is needed to "water-in" insecticides, pesticides, herbicides,
fungicides, and fertilizers within 24 hours of application
· When the source of water is discharged from a water-to-air heat pump
Other outdoor water uses such as filling swimming pools, washing cars or pressure
washing are allowed anytime. Water conservation measures, such as using an automatic
shut-off nozzle on a hose, should be practiced at all times,
City of Sebastian:
The current regulations in place for the City of Sebastian are seen as more stringent than the
District-wide restrictions in place within the SJRWMD.
The City currently prohibits outdoor irriqation by any manner between the hours of 9 AM
and 5 PM year-round. However, air conditioning systems utilizing water source heat pumps are
permitted to utilize the discharge water of the system for irrigation purposes at any time.
/Sec. 102-81 of the City Code]
Further, existing installations on parcels with odd-numbered addresses are only permitted to
irrigate on Mondays~ Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Parcels with even-numbered addresses
or no addresses are only permitted to irrigate on Tuesdays. Thursdavs. and Sundays. [Sec.
102-83 of the City Code]
Now landscaping installations on residential or commercial parcels that have been in place for
30 days or less are not subject to the 3 days per week limitation. [Sec, 102.84 of the City
Code]
The City Council may, by resolution, enact further restrictions of water uses at any time upon
a declaration of a water shortage emergency, /Sec. 102-$2 of ~he City Code]
