Drought Continengcy Plan in effect

The extreme heat of the summer and ongoing dry conditions have necessitated implementation of Phase 1 of the City's Drought Contingency Plan as of Friday, July 15. As part of Phase 1, residents and businesses are encouraged to follow a twice weekly watering schedule determined by your address:

Even-numbered addresses water Sundays & Thursdays;
Odd-numbered addresses water Wednesdays & Saturdays;
No watering on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays.
During any and all phases of the plan, please DO NOT water during any form of precipitation, and do not waste water by allowing runoff onto a street or other drainage area.

These recommendations are not mandatory at this time but strongly encouraged in the hopes of avoiding further phases. For more info, including more details about the City's Drought Contingency Plan and a list of FAQs, visit www.TheColonyTx.gov/water.
