Texas heat: Rosenberg starts voluntary water conservation on Thursday amid extreme weather conditions - ABC13 Houston
ROSENBERG, Texas (KTRK) -- Rosenberg will join the growing list of communities that have started water conservation plans.
The city will start Stage 1 of voluntary water conservation on Thursday.
Stage 1 asks people whose street numbers end in an even number to only water on Sundays and Thursdays. People whose street numbers end in an odd number are asked to water on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
When watering your lawn, check sprinkler heads to make sure water is not spraying into the street or directly into a storm drain and/or gutters.
The city will remain in Stage 1 of its plan until water usage returns to normal for three consecutive days.
