Supplier Begs Residents To Reduce Water Usage

BRANDON - Demand for water in this fast-growing area has peaked recently, putting Tampa Bay Water dangerously close to exceeding its pumping permit, officials say.

It is putting out an urgent call for water conservation, particularly in the south-central area of the county, where water use is highest on weekends despite a prohibition on irrigation on those days.

"If every person in the south-central Hillsborough service area saves only 23 gallons of water a day, we can reduce our daily demand by about 6.5 million gallons'' meeting needs and staying within the permit levels, said David Bracciano, demand-management coordinator for Tampa Bay Water.

Hillsborough County commissioners recently voted to cut irrigation back to once a week to help the conservation effort.
