FAQ's About Lifting Stage 2

We are so excited to be able to lift Stage 2 restrictions! The lifting of the restrictions has come with a few questions, we are sharing some FAQs below that may be helpful for everyone:

1. Does this mean I can go back to watering when I want?

There is still a no more than twice per week irrigation schedule in place. This schedule is year round and will not ever increase beyond two days.

2. Do I still have to water before 10am or after 6pm?

No, the 10am-6pm blackout period is only in effect from June 1st - Sept 30th. Since we are in October, you may water at anytime on your designated day.

3. My neighbor is watering daily, how do I get them to stop?

There is a good chance your neighbor may not know about the irrigation schedule. We always encourage conversation between neighbors, but if you are not comfortable having that conversation you can report water waste on Engage Denton https://dentontx.citysourced.com/

4. If I report my neighbor on Engage Denton will they get a citation?

Our goal is to educate and correct behavior. Citations will not increase the amount of water we have. When we are informed of water waste, we reach out and let the customer know the rules, how they have violated the rules and offer solutions on how to get into compliance.

5. What if i want to establish turf, apply pre-emergents, or install new plantings that require more than twice per week irrigation?
