Starting Friday, those in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas Counties must follow a new watering schedule. According to officials, a once-a-week watering schedule in those three counties is necessary due to the extreme drought. Some living in North Tampa are able to see the effects of the drought from their backyards. Jan Ignash has a seasonal pond behind her Lutz home and it is completely died up. "Normally it’s full of water. Normally three to four feet deep," Ignash said. Due to the drought we’re in, there is no water in sight. "This is all part of the Cypress chain of lakes that flows into the Hillsborough River. So if our water is affected here, you can imagine that’s affecting everybody," Ignash said.
