You know the old saying, “Spring forward, fall back.” It reminds us to turn our clocks ahead in the spring and back in the fall. This year, standard time resumes at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, so you should turn your clocks back an hour before going to bed Saturday night.
This is also the day when Volusia County’s lawn watering schedule changes, so make sure you reset your automatic sprinklers. Residents may water their lawns once a week until daylight saving time resumes March 10, when the two-day-a-week schedule will return.
People who live at odd-numbered addresses may water on Saturdays, people at even-numbered addresses may water on Sundays, and businesses may water on Tuesdays.
Each zone of your irrigation system may be watered no more than one hour or three-quarters of an inch on your permitted day. Watering is not permitted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The watering restrictions apply to all county residents, including those who live inside city limits. They also apply to all water sources, including private wells and pumps. For more information on water restrictions and conservation, visit https://www.volusia.org/water-conservation.
The time change is also a reminder to change the batteries in our smoke alarms.
