Effective Monday evening, July 18, 2011, the City of Hudson Oaks is moving into Stage 2 (Severe) of its Water Conservation Plan.  Unusually high demand, coupled with extremely high fire danger has created the need for the immediate reduction of outdoor water use.

Beginning on July 18, outdoor watering with an irrigation (sprinkler) system or a hose-end sprinkler will be limited to the following:

• Properties with EVEN-numbered addresses may only irrigate on MONDAY and THURSDAY.
• Properties with ODD-numbered addresses may only irrigate on TUESDAY and FRIDAY.
• ABSOLUTELY NO outdoor water use will be permitted at any time of day on WEDNESDAY, SATURDAY, OR SUNDAY.
• ABSOLUTELY NO outdoor water use will be permitted between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on ANY day, because that's when evaporation rates are the highest.

Failure to comply with these restrictions will result in disconnection of water service and the imposition of an $80 reconnection fee.

These restrictions do not apply to the use of soaker hoses around home foundations or hand watering of plants and shrubs.  However, water customers are encouraged to conserve water, especially in outdoor use, to help maintain the pressure and water levels needed for fire protection in the community.

If you observe a violation of these water restrictions, please report the violation by contacting the City staff at 682-229-2400.
