Protect the landscape within the rules
Make each watering day work harder.
The goal is not to run every zone as long as possible. It is to reach roots while limiting evaporation, overspray and runoff.
Follow the odd/even schedule now so the controller is already prepared if a mandatory phase is activated.
Austin Ranch residents should use Plano’s current drought plan rather than The Colony’s schedule.
Check the current phase before major planting or irrigation work because later phases can sharply limit outdoor water use.
Cycle→Soak→Repeat
Break a long run into shorter cycles. Pause between cycles so clay soil can absorb water before it becomes runoff.
