Southlake has adopted a permanent twice-per-week watering schedule (City's Code of Ordinances) to restrict the watering of landscapes and lawns using automatic irrigation systems between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. every day, regardless of rainfall conditions. The purpose of this year-round restriction is to prevent the unnecessary loss of water to evaporation during the hottest hours of the day. Watering during these hours is permitted only if using a hand-held hose.
The guidelines the City of Southlake follows are in line with regional conservation efforts promoted by the Tarrant Regional Water District and the city's direct wholesale water supplier, the City of Fort Worth.
Residents, businesses, and Homeowners Associations must follow the lawn watering schedule, and watering must be carried out between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. on your designated days only. The City watering schedule was adopted under the current Southlake 5-Year Water Conservation Plan.
