CHANGES TO PLANO WATER RESTRICTIONS - Effective August 23, 2011

Per the City of Plano:

Stage 2 Water Conservation CHANGES
Effective August 23, 2011

Over the past several weeks, the City has received a lot of resident feedback on the water map designed for watering restrictions in Stage 2. The water map was made in the best interest of the water system, however considering the needs of the residents and taking a different look at our water system, we have made a change to the watering restrictions. We realize the water map was in place for a very short period of time, but providing a timely response to your concerns was necessary in this case. Last night the Plano City Council adopted a different approach to watering restrictions, while continuing to limit watering to 2 days per week.

New Residential Watering Restrictions – Effective August 23, 2011

In order to achieve the 5% reduction in use, residential irrigation watering should be programmed for two days per week based on the building’s address.

· Even number Monday and Thursday
· Odd number Tuesday and Friday

Watering is prohibited between 10:00am-6:00pm.

The City is allowing time for residents to make the necessary adjustments to irrigation controllers prior to any enforcement action.

Hand watering and the use of soaker hoses or drip irrigation provides property owners with a means to protect their foundation, plant materials, and other outdoor assets. This practice is acceptable at any time on any day of the week, provided there is no run off. The refilling of swimming pools continues to be acceptable in Stage 2.

For additional information on water conservation measures visit www.plano.gov/water.
