Collin County
residents should expect the water restrictions to last through 2007.
The stage 3 water restrictions limit watering to once a week via an irrigation system. Additional hand watering with a shut off nozzle is permitted during certain hours. Most cities restrictions began on June 1st of 2006. . If you have
flowers, new sod, new plants or trees less than three years old;
additional hand watering is a must. Established turf can survive
without serious decline if given up to one inch of water per week. Assuming your trash day is Wednesday and you are not allowed to water between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., you may only water on Wednesday. Therefore, you may water from 12:01 a.m. until 8:59 a.m. Wednesday morning and again from 7:01 p.m. until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night.
This example will allow you to water twice on Wednesday. Many of us at CitiTurf will actually water more than twice. For example, if you only have six zones and you water each zone for 30 minutes you can cycle through all of your zones in 3 hours. Therefore, between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 8:59 a.m. you could actually run through each zone twice. The goal is to apply as much water as possible without wasting it through run off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plano
