New water schedule

From the Ejido Drinking Water Committee:
IMPORTANT NOTICE – NEW SCHEDULES AND ZONES FOR WATER SUPPLY
We inform the community of La Manzanilla that, due to an increase in water levels in our wells and a notable improvement in water quality—compounded by a drop in pressure (apparently at the soccer field pump) and financial challenges in covering electricity bills—we have decided to modify our water distribution schedules and zones.
The goal of these changes is to protect and conserve our water supply, reduce pumping hours, and prevent the over-extraction of our wells. We aim to maintain—for as long as possible—the water levels and quality that have been restored thanks to recent rainfall.
NEW WATER SUPPLY SCHEDULES
SOCCER FIELD (CAMPO DE FÚTBOL) AND VALLE VERDE 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
CENTRAL ZONE (ZONA CENTRO) 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
EL CRUCERO ZONE – FIRST SECTOR 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
From El Crucero to Mariposa, descending via the Antena area.
EL CRUCERO ZONE – SECOND SECTOR 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
From Mariposa, descending along Lázaro Cárdenas Street as far as the dentist’s office.
A CALL TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY
Recent rains have provided a great opportunity to restore our aquifers and improve water quality. Now, it is up to all of us to do our part to preserve this benefit.
We ask that you use only the water you truly need, avoid waste, and check your own plumbing for leaks. The less water we waste, the fewer hours we will need to pump, and the better our chances of maintaining this improvement for a longer period.
We will address the remaining areas later; please note that we may adjust schedules and zones over the coming days until the system is fully settled.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
SINCERELY, Ejido Drinking Water Committee Ejido La Manzanilla

What does this mean? I can only use water, like take a shower, between 11-2? How do I know what zone I am located in?
not to worry, I'm sure you have a texaca (water storage tank) somewhere on your property. Most have at least 1200 litres and it will fill during whatever hours your water is being pumped from the town. Just don't leave the taps running all day.
