Just got a note on this from a trusted source in South Florida. Thought we’d pass it along…
Please note that the Water Management District will be sending field inspectors out this
weekend to look for growers violating the ban on weekend withdrawals from
the regional water management system. The Caloosahatchee River is of
particular interest because of the high withdrawal rates the last few days,
but they will also patrol the main canals in the EAA. Their intention is to
only give warning letters at this point. Sorry for the late notice but they
just decided to do this based on very high withdrawals from the
Caloosahatchee yesterday and today.
