💥💥💥San Antonio’s Stage 2 watering rules remain in effect as dry conditions continue. Stage 2 watering rules are mandatory per city ordinance and include specific times and days for water use. 💥💥💥
Native and adapted plants are resilient, and your landscape will remain healthy following San Antonio’s Stage 2 watering rules – even in this heat.
Landscape watering with an irrigation system, sprinkler, or soaker hose is permitted only on your designated day once a week from 7-11 a.m. and 7-11 p.m.
Watering day is based on the last digit of your address. Addresses ending in 0 or 1 are Monday, 2 or 3 are Tuesday, 4 or 5 are Wednesday, 6 or 7 are Thursday, 8 or 9 are Friday. Areas without a street address, such as medians and neighborhood entryways, water on Wednesday.
No watering with sprinklers on Saturday and Sunday.
Hand watering with a hand-held hose is allowed any day, any time.
