Stage 2 FAQ's

Thank you to the public for reaching out to us with Stage 2 restriction questions. We have some FAQ's we hope you will find helpful.

1. Can I still water my foundation?

Yes! Foundations may be watered between 6pm and 10am with a soaker hose, provided that the soaker hose is properly maintained and not creating runoff. You may still water foundations any day of the week at this time. We request that property owners conserve and only water foundations when absolutely necessary.

2. Can i still use my drip irrigation / bubbler/ soaker hose.

Yes! Properly maintained drip/ bubbler and soaker systems do not create runoff, nor do they waste water due to evaporative loss. You may continue to use these systems after 6pm and before 10 am. You may still water foundations any day of the week at this time; we request that property owners conserve and only run these systems when necessary.

3. Can I Hand-water?

Hand watering plants is not considered part of the irrigation restrictions. You may hand water as needed, provided that handwatering does not create run-off waste.

4. Do hose end sprinklers count as irrigation.?

Yes, if it sprinklers it is considered irrigation.

5. I let my grass follow its natural cycle of summer dormancy, and i normally dont irrigate in the summer. Why are you forcing me to water if we are in a Drought situation?

You do not have to irrigate at all! Irrigating on your irrigation day is completely optional.

5. How do I report water waste?

We always encourage conversation between community members whenever possible, Some people still may not be aware that we have entered Stage 2 restrictions. If it is not possible to have a conversation, please let us know on Engage Denton, located at https://dentontx.citysourced.com/ and we will reach out to the property owner.
