Due to the lack of meaningful rainfall and continued high temperatures, the Town is initiating Stage 1: Water Awareness of its Emergency Water Demand Management Plan. The dry, hot conditions have led to high water use in Flower Mound and surrounding communities. The Upper Trinity Regional Water District has also initiated Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan for its service area, which includes Flower Mound. While in Stage 1, Flower Mound residents should do the following:
💧 Do not water lawns and gardens between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
💧 Limit outdoor watering with automatic systems or hose-end sprinklers to no more than twice per week. For residents and businesses with street addresses ending in an even number, those two days should be Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday. For residents and businesses with street addresses ending in an odd number, those two days should be Saturday, Monday, or Wednesday.
💧 Reduce the use of water overall, including when refilling swimming pools, fountains, or ponds; washing and rinsing vehicles; watering new and first-year landscaping; and using faucets, hoses, or hydrants that allow water to continuously run.
The current water demand is approaching a level that could cause a reduced delivery capacity for all or part of the transmission system. With your help, we can avoid that reduction. For more tips on how you can conserve water in your home, visit https://www.flower-mound.com/621/Water-Conservation.
