The City of DeSoto is calling for residents to reduce outdoor watering. The city has moved to “stage two” restrictions.
The restrictions include limited times for customers using automatic irrigations or hose-end sprinklers outdoors to water once every five days early in the morning, 5 to 9 a.m.. or late evening, 7 to 11 p.m.
The watering schedule, sent by the city, shows which days watering will be allowed and is depended on the last digit of a resident’s street address.
