Severe Drought Condition Alert was in effect November 1st. The rain fall in North Texas is below the average and the lake water levels are below 50%! My husband said this happened few years ago also. And so, STAGE 3 water conservation has initiated.

Below are helpful tips on water management strategies:
- Continue all restrictions under Stage 1 and Stage 2.
- Avoid hosing off paved areas, building, or windows.
- Avoid operation of ornamental fountains, if they use metered water.
- Avoid, washing or rinsing of vehicles with a water hose.
- Avoid wasteful water usage such as "runoff", "water leaks", and "flushing of gutters or ditches.
- Avoid planting any new trees or other planting, since they require large amounts of water for good root growth.
- Existing swimming pools may not be drained and refilled except to replace normal water loss due to evaporation.
- Foundations may be watered by a handheld hose or soaker hose.
We are following the water conservation tips. We take our cars to a Car Wash service. The foundations of the house are watered by a soaker hose. The laundry day is once a week and we try not to use too much water when dish washing.
