Water Conservation Ordinance
Even with the record rains last summer, Euless residents should not take water for granted. It proves the point even more that water levels cannot be predicted from one year to the next and we all need to make an effort to conserve water. After the drought of 2006, Euless officials realized that we need to protect this precious resource by enacting measures that make sense for Euless residents.
Effective July 2007, all Euless water customers fall under a new water conservation ordinance that prohibits watering outdoors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round. The new rules will apply to City water customers who use automatic and non-automatic irrigation systems and garden hose-attached sprinklers to water their lawns
Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is an inefficient method of maintaining yards. Water from sprinklers and irrigations systems is lost by evaporation due to heat and wind. In addition, daylight watering as well as domestic use, places additional demands on the water treatment plant.
The ordinance does provide for watering home foundations, lawns and new landscape plantings by handheld hose, drip irrigation or soaker hose. For more information please call 817-685-1400.
