A usable Belle Isle watering calendar needs more than a remembered weekday. It should record the property’s address class, the season, the permitted time window, and the water source. The City’s restrictions cover private wells and pumps as well as public water, so changing the source does not automatically remove the schedule.
Fill six fields before programming a controller
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Address | The serviced street address |
| Class | Odd-numbered, even-numbered, or no numeric address |
| Season | Daylight-saving time or Eastern Standard Time |
| Allowed day or days | Copy the current row for that class from the City schedule |
| Clock window | Record the allowed hours and avoid watering outside them |
| Water source | Public supply, well, pump, or other source |
Use the City schedule to fill the allowed-day and time fields; do not rely on an old controller setting. The water management district provides the wider regional framework, but the City page is the local check for Belle Isle.
Make the seasonal change auditable
Create two controller snapshots: one for daylight-saving time and one for standard time. Each snapshot should show the active days, start times, and zone durations. Add the date the program was changed and a photo or export of the controller settings.
For an address without a number, use the specifically labeled no-address row rather than choosing odd or even. For an odd or even address, retain a photograph or bill header showing the address used to classify it.
Finally, add a “temporary rule checked” line to the calendar. Drought orders, maintenance restrictions, new-landscape provisions, and site-specific exceptions require their own confirmation. This record does not decide whether an exception applies; it shows the ordinary schedule that was actually programmed and the sources checked on that date.
