Manage your sprinkler
If you are one of the landowners who has the sprinklers on all afternoon, or water spraying over pavements, you need to fix the problem right now.
There is a threshold for how much water can be infiltrated by soil during a specific time period. It usually takes about 30 minutes to reach that threshold. Once the limit is exceeded, the excess water eventually becomes surface runoff and goes down storm sewers. You are wasting extra money, while your lawn is not growing better.
What makes it worse, you might be contributing to the pollution of our water system. As water flows through impervious surfaces, trash and pollutants will be brought down the sewers at the same time.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – The First Coast Expressway, known by some as the Outer Beltway project, continues construction stretching from Interstate 10 on Jacksonville’s Westside down to St. Johns County.
The current section of the project right now is the two phases that connect Blanding Boulevard in Middleburg all the way to the Shand Bridge. The two phases of the project are slated to be completed between 2025 and 2026. Right now, many parts of southern Clay County are seeing considerable amounts of construction on that project. Many of those neighborhoods include residents who are not thrilled with the new road that is designed to give commuters a quicker drive to Jacksonville.
