Watering restrictions -- they're mandatory

Hey folks, I know we all want our lawns and gardens to be lush and green, but mandatory watering restrictions are in effect in Austin now, and it's important we follow them.
I spotted two houses just on my block blatantly violating the watering restrictions today. For one thing, no one should be watering with a sprinkler between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Secondly -- single-family homes should not water on Monday at all.
We're trying to conserve water so we don't run out down the line. It's that simple.
Have a question? Go to the City of Austin's site for information about when to water. They also have an online reporting form for letting them know who's violating the rules.
