Town
of Flower Mound Implements Stage Two Water Management Measures
Due to on-going dry weather
conditions and the resulting water use during times of peak demand, the
Town of Flower Mound will implement Stage Two Water management measures
beginning Monday, July 24. Flower Mound Town staff will continually monitor
peak demand levels and the Town’s water reserves throughout the
duration of the summer. The implementation of Stage Two Measures will
be reevaluated if conditions return to acceptable levels. In accordance
with Town of Flower Mound Ordinance
# 35-05, the Stage
Two Water Management Measures include the following primary conservation initiatives:
- Outside water use for residences and businesses
located east of FM 2499 will be allowed on even-numbered calendar
days
- Outside water use for residences and businesses
located west of FM 2499 will be allowed on odd-numbered calendar
days
- Landscape irrigation
will be prohibited on August 1 and September 1
- Outside water use is
restricted for all commercial and residential customers between the
hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily
- The filling of swimming pools following new construction
is allowed during Stage Two Management Measures. However, the filling
of existing swimming pools following maintenance is considered outside
water use and must comply with the conservation measures
Stage Two Measures are necessary
to maintain system integrity, ensure adequate water pressure, and redistribute
water demand to consistent levels throughout the day. Town of Flower
Mound Utility Services, Code Enforcement, and Police personnel will enforce
the Stage Two Water Management Measures. Customers or
users of the Town's water system who violate or fail to comply with any
provision of the measures could be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
receive up to a $500 fine. A complete copy of Ordinance #35-05 is available
here. For more information, please call 972.874.6400.
