Arlington Water Utilities limits irrigation to two days per week year-round under permanent water-conservation rules. Address-based schedules apply, and watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. April through October to reduce evaporation losses.
Arlington adopted permanent twice-weekly watering as a baseline conservation measure rather than a drought-emergency response. Even-numbered addresses water Sundays and Thursdays; odd-numbered addresses water Saturdays and Wednesdays. Hand-watering with a hose-end shutoff and drip irrigation are exempt from day-of-week restrictions. The 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. midday prohibition runs April 1 through October 31 to align with peak evaporation. Drought Stage 1 through 4 restrictions can further tighten the schedule based on Tarrant Regional Water District reservoir levels at Cedar Creek, Richland-Chambers, and Lake Arlington supplies. New landscape installation receives a 30-day establishment exemption with utility approval.
First violation receives a written warning; second offense carries a 150 dollar fine, escalating to 500 dollars for additional violations within twelve months under Arlington water-conservation enforcement.
