Modified Phase II Water
Order Begins April 18
The
South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) announced that on April 18, all residents and
businesses of Broward are limited to a two-day-per-week
landscape irrigation schedule with two watering windows.
Odd street addresses may irrigate lawns and landscapes on
Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to
11:59 p.m.
Even street addresses may irrigate lawns and landscapes on
Thursdays and Sundays from 12 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to
11:59 p.m.
Hand-watering with one hose fitted with an automatic shut-off
nozzle is allowed for 10 minutes per day for landscape stress
relief and to prevent plant die-off.
Low-volume irrigation, including the use of drip and microjet
systems that apply water directly to plant root zones, is not
restricted but should be voluntarily reduced.
Additional watering days and times are allocated for the
establishment of new lawns and landscapes
No restrictions apply to other outside water uses, such as for
car and boat washing, pressure cleaning of paved surfaces,
decorative fountains and water-based recreation (e.g. swimming
pools, water slides).

Neighborhood
Watch
Burglaries within the Town of Davie neighborhoods cost
residents thousands and thousands of dollars per year in loss
of property alone. Most burglaries in your neighborhood are
being committed by youths 18 and under. They are not skilled
professionals, but they will take advantage of an easy target.
Don't make it easy for them!
1. Install a
deadbolt lock:
Deadbolts are usually locked with a key from the outside and a
thumb turn on the inside. The cylinder should be pick
resistant. Lock your doors every time you leave the house,
even if you're leaving for just a few minutes during the day.
The most popular times for residential burglaries are weekday
daylight hours. In many burglaries, there is no forcible
entry--someone forgot to lock the doors.
2. Install
solid doors:
Outside
doors should be metal or solid hardwood and at least 1 3/4
inches thick. Frames must be made of equally strong material
and each door must fit its frame securely.
3. Keep
garage doors closed and locked at all times:
This
includes all exterior doors and doors leading into the home
from the garage.
4. Secure
sliding doors and windows:
Cut a
broom handle to the length of the bottom track so that the
window or door will not slide open when forced. Also, drill
one hole through both casings and sliding window and insert a
nail or pin.
5. Secure
windows:
To
prevent windows from being pried open, purchase a track lock
that blocks the window track and prevents the window from
being opened from the outside.
6. Mark your
property:
Mark
your valuables with an engraver. Use your driver’s license
number. Marking your property serves as a deterrent to
would-be burglars and it helps police in identifying and
returning stolen property. Make a property identification
list. Put warning stickers on doors and windows. Record all
serial numbers to your valuables and keep in a safe place.
7. Purchase
a burglar alarm:
A home
alarm system can be a very effective burglary deterrent and
fit into many people's needs. Remember to test your system
monthly.
8. Leave a
light on:
When
leaving on trips, leave a light on in the bathroom. In the
bedroom, attach a lamp and radio to a 24-hour electric timer
set to go on at dusk and off at your bedtime. Close bedroom
drapes or blinds.
9. Use proper exterior
lighting:
Place a
light over every door. Flood lights on each corner of the
house will also light up windows.
10. Work together with your
neighbors:
When you
are going to be away, tell trusted neighbors and ask them to
watch your property. Have neighbors maintain your yard. When
on vacation, have someone cut grass. Shrubbery should not hide
neighbors' view of windows or doors. Have someone pick up
newspapers and mail. Tell neighbors to call police if they
notice anything suspicious.
No one
can make their home a fortress, but if you make your home just
a little harder to gain access, you may deter criminals who
are looking for an easy target.
11. Don’t
leave valuables in plain sight:
When
leaving your vehicle, ensure that no items of value can be
seen from anyone on the outside. Items most sought after are
cellphones, ipods, GPS devices, CD’s, purses, and any other
electronic equipment. Secure valuables in the trunk or take
them with you.
