Give A Drip — Summer 2026

We’re in the hottest months of the year! Time to show y’all Give A Drip about water.

Outdoor irrigation accounts for more than half of residential water consumption in North Texas, and much of it is wasted. Save water for where it matters most — like in lakes and from your tap! Commit to following your local watering rules and never water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. 

Participants who pledge to save have a chance to receive free swag (while supplies last) and will be entered into a drawing for a smart irrigation controller or a $500 gift card to a local garden center at the end of the summer. Click the button below to get started.

Winter Weatherizing

Prepare your sprinklers & home for winter: Turning off sprinklers during the fall and winter months prevents unnecessary watering and reduces the risk of lawn diseases. Winterizing your irrigation system and outdoor faucets and pipes can prevent damage from freezing temperatures leading to costly repairs. Check out our Winter Weatherization page for more tips to prepare for the winter.
