Martin County promotes year‑round 'Water Wisely' irrigation limits tied to address numbers
Summary
Podcast hosts relayed that Martin County Utilities is promoting the 'Water Wisely' landscape irrigation program run with the South Florida Water Management District; the schedule is year‑round and depends on home address numbers, the hosts said.
Mac, co‑host of the 2MC podcast, summarized the county’s Water Wisely program as a landscape irrigation schedule that limits lawn watering days and times.
"Water Wisely is, it's about, landscape irrigation," Mac said on the show, and added that Martin County has “worked with South Florida Water Management District” on conservation measures that apply in unincorporated Martin County.
Hosts told listeners that the program sets allowed irrigation days and times according to the numbers in a household’s street address and that the county enforces those limits year‑round. Courtney said she had received an email from utilities asking the podcast to help promote the program and that the hosts would include a link in the episode show notes for residents to check their specific watering schedule.
The hosts framed Water Wisely as a community conservation effort in response to increasing water consumption. The show gave no new county ordinance numbers, enforcement penalties, or budget figures; the hosts encouraged listeners to consult the county utilities website and the show notes for the county’s irrigation schedule and more details.
