Watering Guidelines (Nov 1 - Mar 31)
Lawns and outdoor plants require less water as we move to cooler temperatures. November 1 marks the date to dial back landscape watering and to enjoy the water-use cost savings. Effective November 1, The City of Plano outdoor watering guidelines limit sprinkler use to the once-a-week schedule based on the last digit of your house number:
- Homes with addresses ending in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) – Operate sprinklers only on Tuesday
- Homes with addresses ending in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) – Operate sprinklers only on Thursday
The City of Plano also recommends that we follow these guidelines as well:
- Turn off automatic sprinklers. Once cooler weather arrives, most grasses go dormant until spring which reduces your lawn's need for water. Subscribe to WaterMyYard for customized weekly watering recommendations.
- Set your sprinklers to run between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. This is when the temperature is warmer.
- Don't plant cool season grasses.Ryegrass and fescues require extra water during winter.
- Avoid excessive water runoff and watering during rain, ice or snow. Runoff is prohibited because it leads to dangerous icing of streets and sidewalks.
- Only water if your lawn needs it. Just because it is your day to water doesn't mean you must water.

These guidelines apply until March 31, 2025.
