The City of Dallas is restricting water usage once more. They are doing this in order to ensure that Dallas and surrounding areas have sufficient water to survive what portends to be an extended drought. The state is already looking at a $54B short term plan to provide water. If population growth continues at current rates, the 50 year water plan calls for at least a $90B expenditure (last year’s data, and costs continue to climb). In keeping with that concern, please do everything you can to conserve water. Below is the notification sent by the city regarding which days of the week odd and even numbered houses will be allowed to water. The watering restrictions NOW apply to hand watering, drip irrigation, and soaker hoses as well. This is a further step to conserve.

Thanks for helping with this effort.
