Give A Drip – Pledge to Water Less, Y’all!
It’s spring again in North Texas! Time to show y’all Give A Drip about water — our lake levels, your yards and your water bill, too. The best way to Give A Drip is by pledging to follow local watering rules (no more than two days a week). Plus, you’ll get free swag while supplies last, and entry into monthly drawings for an irrigation repair kit. Then in September, there’ll be big drawings for a smart irrigation controller ($150 value) or a $500 gift card to RootedIn, a local garden center, that includes a professional landscape consultation
Let’s do our darndest to save (water and money)! Check out the resources and tips below.

C’mon and Give a Drip:
- Make your soil healthier with amendments (learn more on our Educational Classes page).
- Plant native or adapted flowers, bushes and trees (learn more).
- Check and update your sprinkler system for leaks and fix broken heads. Program it to follow local mandatory schedules (and no more than two days per week).
- Try multi-stream, more efficient spray heads for your yard and drip irrigation options for gardens and home foundations.
- Sign up for weekly watering tips, emailed straight to you through Water My Yard.
- Cycle and soak before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. — it’s the rules! Water in two, short cycles (5-6 minutes each), with an hour between cycles.
- Turn off sprinklers when it’s rainy or windy and consider a smart, WaterSense Labeled controller.
