Stage 3 Water Conservation Measures Now in Effect
City encourages residents to turn sprinkler systems “off”

Stage 3 conservation measures begin November 1 and the City of Plano and north Texas area needs your help to conserve water as the drought continues and lake levels fall to extremely low levels. Every drop counts to ensure we have necessary water supplies for the future.

Beginning Tuesday, November 1 watering will be restricted to once every other week so please turn your timer systems off and operate them manually if needed. Lawn grasses go dormant during the fall and winter season. They will naturally go brown and do not need water. The watering schedule by address is:

· Odd number Every Other Tuesday beginning Nov. 8

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

Hydro-mulching, hydro-seeding and sprigging is prohibited. Planting of cool season grasses (i.e. rye) is also prohibited. No hosing of paved areas, buildings or windows and No use of ornamental fountains or outdoor amenities which use treated water will be allowed.

Swimming pools may not be drained or refilled, except to replace normal water loss.
