Effective Tuesday, April 3, 2012 the City of Plano revised Stage 3 water conservation measures.

Odd addresses - Every Tuesday beginning April 3

watered within a 10’ radius of their trunk for up to two hours on any day by a hand-held
hose, a soaker hose, or a dedicated zone using a low flow irrigation system.
