City of Dallas: Twice per week watering is allowed. The day you water depends on your address (see image below). No watering is allowed between 10am-6pm. Drip irrigation, handwatering and foundation watering may be performed any day of the week. However, it is recommended that you do not water between 10am-6pm to reduce water evaporation.

City of Plano: While twice per week watering is now allowed, conservation is still requested. Odd addresses may water Tuesday and Friday, even addresses Monday and Thursday. Sprinklers and automatic irrigation systems are still prohibited between 10am-6 pm. Watering on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday is not allowed.

City of Frisco: Your watering day is your regular trash pickup day. Watering is allowed before 10am and after 6pm. Hand watering is limited to up to two hours each day.
