Can't find the correct info, haven't washed my truck in like 3 weeks. What are the days/times you can wash (obviously for Floridians)? If I understand it's based on the days you can water your lawn, my house is an even number which means you can water the lawn I believe 4-8 am Tues/Thurs/Sun. And if you have to wash a car it can be done 4-8 am or 5-7 pm on the days you can water the lawn....correct?

damn my truck needs a wash bad lol

Here, its Saturday and Wednesday. You can water your car any time during the day, as long as there's a nozzle attached. You can also water any new plants/sod every day for up to 3 weeks. And some other mubo-jumbo..

changes again on the 13th ... zone 2 rules. Look up South Florida Water Mgmt. Get this, most cities are also imposing a drought tax on the water. These were the idiots who dumped it all last year in prep for hurricane that never made it.

im so glad i dont have to worry about neighbors ratting me out cause i am constantly washing my car, bugs are getting worse and im having to drive a lot more lately too... if your truck needs a wash, give it a wash...if you havent done it in 3 weeks, i think youve made up for the lost water of the past 3 weeks!
