Water Conservation Coordinator – Deirdre Irwin

Tiberius Boy sits down with Deirdre Irwin to unpack where our tap water really comes from (the Floridan Aquifer), how springs like Wekiwa connect to it, and why over-pumping + over-watering lawns puts our waterways at risk.
In this episode:
• What “water conservation” actually means (it’s really just not wasting!)
• The Floridan Aquifer explained — limestone, recharge, and why it’s “constrained”
• How much a yard watering cycle really uses (≈ 1,000 gallons!) and smart ways to cut it
• Florida Water Star® homes: design choices that save 40–50% more water
• Easy kid wins: turn off the tap while brushing, fix leaky toilet flappers, and spot your toilet’s gallons-per-flush
• Why rain sensors (required in FL) matter and how HOAs can stop wasting thousands of gallons
