The district handles much of the water and wastewater services for Denton County, said Jason Pierce, manager of governmental affairs and communications for the district.
The details
To that end, the following restrictions are currently in place for all residences and businesses, the release states:
- Watering lawns and gardens between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is prohibited.
- Outdoor watering with automatic systems or hose-end sprinklers is limited to no more than twice a week.
- Residences and businesses with street addresses ending in an even number can water on Sundays and Thursdays.
- Residences and businesses with street addresses ending in an odd number can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
- Residents may refill swimming pools on their designated watering days.
- Watering by means of a hand-held hose, bucket or drip irrigation is allowed at any time.
- Residents on well water are exempt from these restrictions.
Flower Mound officials said they are doing their part by reducing the frequency of vehicle washing by 50%, continuing intensified leak detection and repair activities on waterlines, and reducing irrigation to two days per week. Town facilities and parks will be watered on the two days that correspond to their street address, and town medians and green spaces will be watered on Tuesdays and Fridays, the release states.
