Now is the time to make sure your sprinklers are off. Yes, we have plenty of water in our lakes, but over-use is still very important. The City builds infrastructure to handle peak loads. in other words, that water tank, the water lines, the pumps and everything that goes along with it is designed to handle peak loads. Of course, this costs money. Your money and my money. Using the water you only need goes a long ways in saving all of us money. Directly, through your water bill and indirectly through the infrastructure we have to build.
Also, the state mandates water conservation. Frisco has one of the highest water usage, measured in gallons used per person per day. A majority of that is irrigation. We had storms last night and it is raining right now. Every sprinkler system in Frisco should be turned off for at least the next few days.
