Reminder:

Local plants and grasses during the summer months still do not require as much water as people think. Only one inch in one, and nor more than two, applications per week is necessary!  If it rains – do not water until the landscape shows signs of needing moisture. Watering too much creates a shallow root system that requires excessive water during the hottest, driest periods.  Overwatering creates environments that breed harmful mosquitoes, too!

Don’t be Waterless, Water Less and be Water Smart!

 

 

 

URGENT NOTICE:

 June 29, 2009

Mandatory Water Restrictions issued for The Woodlands

 Mandatory water restrictions have been initiated by The Woodlands Joint Powers Agency. The restrictions include The Woodlands Municipal Utility Districts in Montgomery County, according to James M. Stinson, P.E., general manager of The WJPA.

 “Due to continued extreme hot and dry weather and unprecedented water demand, we have initiated Stage 3 of our MUDs’ Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan. This is a MANDATORY WATER RESTRICTION NOTICE that limits outdoor irrigation to no more than two days per week and no more than a total of one inch of potable water applied per week,” said Stinson.

 Fines up to $200 per violation may be imposed for repeat offenders.

To reduce stress on the water supply system and allow adequate pressure for early morning household needs, automatic irrigation timers should be set to complete all watering cycles by 4 a.m.

Residential irrigation schedules are as follows: 

  • Addresses ending in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) are limited to Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

  • Addresses ending in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8) are limited to Thursdays and Sundays. 

Please call 281-367-1271 ext. 4 with any questions.

 

 

Water Saving Device Rebate

We offer a 50% rebate, up to $150.00, on the purchase and installation of a rain sensor, or the installation of an ET Smart Controller, for your sprinkler system.  A rain sensor will detect the presence of rain and shut off your system automatically.  This alleviates the large problem in The Woodlands of numerous sprinklers running during a rain event.  The ET Smart Controller offers several ways to save water.  It considers evaporation and transpiration rates, humidity, temperature and rainfall before allowing the sprinkler system to apply water.

The WJPA office can provide a list of approved water saving devices and irrigation contractors who install them.  Contact Customer Service at 281-367-1271 for information on obtaining your rebate, up to $150.00!

Don't Give Mosquitoes a Home!

Mosquitoes need water to breed and grow.

  • Do not overwater! An inch of water a week is enough.

  • Keep grass clippings and leaves out of storm drains.  They attract mosquitoes and contribute to flooding.

  • Repair leaky faucets.

  • Eliminate debris that hold water.

  • Maintain pools and spas; keep water from pooling on covers.

  • Empty water from plant pots and saucers.

  • Clean gutters regularly.

Irrigate wisely to conserve water and control mosquitoes!
