The details
Residents and businesses with street addresses ending in even numbers are restricted to watering on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Those with odd numbered street addresses can irrigate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

How we got here
Water use in Coppell has consistently reached its maximum volume of 18.5 million gallons per day and the city has not been able to completely refill its water tanks, according to the news release.
Also of note
Under Stage 2 restrictions, outside watering is not allowed from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. However, hand watering, the use of non-spray irrigation systems and the use of soaker hoses are allowed at all times.
