KINGS POINT IRRIGATION SOURCES
There is no source for reclaimed water in Kings Point. Irrigation water in Kings Point is pumped entirely from the Florida aquifer (ground water). There are two main irrigation loop systems that supply irrigation entirely from deep wells. The northeast loop (what we commonly refer to as the "upper loop") connects Andover, Bedford, Cambridge, Dorchester, Fairfield, Gloucester, and Knolls sections, as well as Manchester I and the Kings Blvd. medians. This upper loop uses the 75 hp pump in Cambridge and the 40 hp pump in The Knolls. The southwest loop ("lower loop") connects Highgate, Idlewood, and Lancaster associations, as well as Quail Pass. This lower loop uses the 75 hp pump in Highgate and the 40 hp pump in Lancaster. All other Associations extract water from designated lakes which are then re-filled from various wells. There is a pump for each purpose, at each location. All lakes are part of the Kings Point drainage system and each lake has an overflow system (called a "weir") that directs excess water from lake to lake. Lakes that do not supply irrigation water must fill naturally from irrigation runoff and storm water . Kings Point has a variance from SWFWMD which allows Kings Point to irrigate according to the approved schedule, regardless of the addresses. However, Kings Point must always adhere to County Restrictions. Kings Point is still following Hillsborough County Phase III Water Restrictions as they apply to unincorporated properties that have private wells. Kings Point irrigation uses lake and well water, not reclaimed water. SWFWMD Consumptive use permit and County restrictions still apply. -Dana Phillips, Master Association
