City of Rockwall Reminds Residents to Follow Water Ordinance and Use Less Water

Homeowners in Rockwall are watering their lawns at record levels, and the City of Rockwall reminds residents about the water conservation plan ordinance still in effect. Already, usage levels are higher than normal for this time of year, when comparing the last few years. As the temperatures continue to rise, it is critical to conserve water.

The Rockwall City Council enacted the ordinance in 2019, following years of severe drought in North Texas, as a measure to stave off future supply issues. The ordinance limits outdoor lawn and landscape irrigation to only two days a week. In addition, it strictly prohibits lawn watering during daytime hours between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
