This request was made in an effort to conserve water, not because of issues with water quality, according to a city news release.
McKinney currently has a sufficient supply of water, but additional conservation measures could be put in place if drought conditions continue, the release stated.
Residents can reduce their water usage by following these tips suggested in the release.
In addition, residents can find their designated summer watering days here.
This request comes as McKinney is under an excessive heat warning with temperatures forecast to reach triple-digit highs.
To combat the excessive heat, the McKinney Salvation Army is offering a cooling station located at 600 Wilson Creek Parkway.
The station will be open July 18-20 from 10 a.m-9 p.m. and July 21-22 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
“The McKinney Fire Department will provide water and snacks,” according to the release.
The city also faces increased fire danger with the high temperatures, low humidity, breezy winds and ongoing drought conditions, the news release stated, and is requiring hot work permits.
