Richardson’s annual summer water conservation plan began this week, which helps to reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation. The summer plan lasts through Oct. 31 and limits the times for outdoor irrigation to evening, night, and early morning hours on certain days each week, depending on the address. Odd-numbered addresses (ending in 1,3,5,7, or 9) water on Wednesday and Sunday; even-numbered addresses (ending in 2,4,6, or 8) water on Tuesday and Saturday.   

Watering via drip irrigation, soaker hose or hand-held hose with a shutoff nozzle may be done any day at any time.
