Note, for those of you with an even numbered address, one of your watering days is Wednesday under the new Water Restrictions. The problem here is that we ask you not to water on days Classic Scapes mows our lawns, to avoid ruts or other damage to the lawn from the mowing equipment. Unfortunately, Classic Scapes is not able change their mowing day at this time, so we are asking homeowners to set their sprinklers for the very early Wednesday morning, the 1:00 am to 2:00 am time frame is recommended, to allow the lawn time to dry before being mowed. Hopefully, these water restrictions will be temporary and this inconvenience will be short-lived. Thanks in advance for you help with this matter!

Grapevine Water Restrictions Starting Monday 8/29/11
See the message below about Water Restrictions starting tomorrow in Grapevine:
Mandatory Water Restrictions Begin August 29
Texas is experiencing the worst one-year drought in the state's history. No rain means our water supplies are declining and our outdoor watering habits play a big role in this decline. Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), the raw water supplier for almost all of Tarrant County including the Cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield, and the Trinity River Authority (TRA) is requesting that all customer cities implement Stage 1 of their Drought Contingency Plan.
Grapevine will comply with TRWD’s request to implement Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan effective September 1, 2011. This Stage 1 implementation is a result of the combined storage in TRWD reservoirs declining to 75% of the reservoirs’ capacity which is the trigger for Stage 1 implementation. The goal of this measure is to conserve our water supplies until the reservoirs are replenished by rainfall and runoff.
With Stage 1 implementation, Grapevine will enact TRWD’s recommended watering schedule which includes an odd, even watering schedule. For additional information visit www.savetarrantwater.com, click on “water restrictions” tab on the left.
Twice-per-week watering restrictions will be mandatory.
Monday - No Watering Allowed
Tuesday and Friday - Non-residential (Apartments, Business, Parks and Common Areas)
Wednesday and Saturday -Residential addresses ending in 0,2,4,6,8
Thursday and Sunday - Residential addresses ending in 1,3,5,7,9
Watering between the hours of 10am and 6pm continues to be prohibited every day of the week.
Save Water. Nothing Can Replace it.
