City of Plainview Winter Watering
Conservation Plan
Now that the weather is getting cooler, the City
of Plainview would like to remind citizens how to
make the best use of water resources during the
next couple of months.
The twice a week conservation water schedule
for residents and businesses is still in effect. The
conservation water schedule is year-round.
st
On the scheduled watering days, from October 1
st
through March 31, citizens may water any time
of day when temperatures are above 35° degrees
Fahrenheit.
For businesses, industries, apartment complexes and parks, watering days are Monday
and Thursday. For residents whose address ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8),
Tuesday and Saturday are the designated watering days. Residents with addresses
ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on Wednesday and Sunday.
Also, in preparation for freezing temperatures, all sprinkler systems set to timers need to
be readjusted – sprinkler systems ran during freezing weather can harm the system and
make surfaces slick and dangerous.
Besides the twice a week conservation water schedule, the City will also implement
other best management practices including a water conservation retrofit program, a leak
detection and repair program, water loss control measures, requirements for water
conservation landscape for new businesses or industry and universal metering and
meter repair and replacement program.

Department at 806.296.1100.
