Why is the reclaim water pressure very low during the day?

Usually between the hours of 10 AM to 4 PM, the reclaim water tanks are shut off and refilled for the next day of use. During this time frame, it is not recommended to irrigate the lawn because it is during the hottest time block of the day. Irrigating the lawn can risk damaging the landscape; the heat from the sun will evaporate the water before it reaches the roots or damage the roots from heated water.
