Sprinklers

If you live in Highland Village, there will be less running in the sprinklers.

Mandatory Phase 2 water restrictions limiting landscape watering for Highland Village residents went into effect on Wednesday, July 27. Phase 2 prohibits residential and commercial landscape watering on Monday’s and Friday’s and restricts watering the rest of the days of the week between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Wasteful water runoff is prohibited, which includes hosing down pavement or rinsing off cars. Groundwater well owners and residents that draw water from the lake are required to post a sign showing well water or lake water is in use.

Residents are encouraged to comply with the Phase 2 water restrictions; however due to the severity of the drought conditions the city will diligently enforce the restrictions. Residents violating the water restrictions can expect to fall under enforcement as outlined by City Ordinance 07-1035.

It is important to conserve water and that we succeed in Phase 2 of our water management program. We must be serious about compliance and enforcement of this program to avoid moving to Stage 3 restrictions.

The City is requesting that all residents reduce their landscape water consumption by 50%.

Phase 2 was triggered automatically by ordinance when the City water supply consumption reached greater than 80% for three consecutive days. 

The City of Highland Village has an adequate water supply for today and tomorrow’s needs. Phase 2 is a water management plan to ensure a reliable water quality to provide the reserves before and after the weekend.

Thanks to the City for supplying this information from the E-Watch email.
