Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX..214-289-6176 Irving and all of Dallas Fort Worth 0525401

The City Of Irving is in a severe drought and has started Stage 2 water restrictions. I am hoping we are almost done with this historic hot summer..I saw the 7 day forecast last night and day 6 was 98!!!! Break out the sweaters!!

Stage 2 which is

  • Even-numbered addresses (those ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8) may water on Tuesday and Odd-numbered addresses (those ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on Wednesday and Sunday
  • Odd-numbered addresses (those ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on Wednesday and Sunday
  • No irrigation may occur on Monday, Thursday or Friday
  • No irrigation may occur between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day.

You are allowed to hand water foundations and new plants or use a soaker hose..bucket for up to two hours on any day but no Landscape watering between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. A $2000 fine can be yours if you do not follow the rules...The water demand has increased from 40 million gallons a day in June to over 66 million...”

Sorry it's been so miserable there for you heat wise.  We have finally gotten a look at summer here for the past couple of weeks!  I've missed that beautiful gold sun in the sky!  :)

Pat  I don't envy your situation this year with the number of rainless days and heat you have had to tolerate

Pat -- it's been a wild year weatherwise --- I hope there is some rainfall soon for Irving and Texas.

Pat, our weather has been super warm, but not quite as warm as yours. Of course, we deal with very high humidity.

How come odd-numbered addresses get to water twice a week. That doesn't seem fair. By the way, you have odd-numbered addresses listed twice.

Pat,

Do people check on who is watering?  I would just let the grass die...not the garden.
