GP Water Restrictions

Current Water Restrictions

The goal of water restrictions is to conserve the city’s water resources until drought conditions improve and the city water system has recovered to normal operating conditions.

Water restrictions are categorized as Stage 1 and Stage 2.

The City of Grand Prairie is currently under Stage 1 restrictions and we are nearing Stage 2.  Your help is needed to conserve our water supply.

Water Restrictions in Effect For residences and businesses

Now – Until Further Notice

  • Do not use landscape/lawn sprinklers between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. any day.
  • No landscape/lawn sprinkler use on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday.
  • Even numbered addresses may water using landscape/lawn sprinklers on Mondays and Thursdays.
  • Odd numbered addresses may water using landscape/lawn sprinklers on Tuesday and Fridays.
  • When watering, a constant stream of water should not be allowed to flow into the street.
  • Watering during precipitation is prohibited. Rain sensors are required on newer landscape/lawn sprinkler systems.
  • Hand watering and soaker hoses are allowed anytime.

Trespassing at the Pool

As the timestamp indicates, these three young men entered the pool enclosure around 3 AM this morning, and decided to move the picnic table seen next to them  to the front near the gate. They also used the ladies bathroom and left a present.

As soon as we can identify these 3 individuals, they will be banned from the pool indefinitely.

If any of you know who these guys are, please let us know using a comment to this post.

 

The Pool will open today at 1 PM

We have been operating on bad information which led us to believe we had to have the Inspector approve us to open, but after calling and speaking with the Manager of Environmental Services, I was informed we did not have to wait for the Inspector to open the pool. They will simply show up unannounced, as they have always done.

Somehow, whoever we spoke with previously at this same department gave us bogus information, which has now been cleared up.

 

Memorial Day Schedule/Pool Update

Both the Office and Maintenance will be off on Memorial Day, May 29th.

There will be no trash pickup on Monday, May 29th; we will pick up trash on Tuesday, May 30th.

 

As of today at 11:30 AM, the Pool inspector has not been out, meaning we cannot open until we pass the inspection.

We are ready but must wait for the City inspector’s approval. If it does not happen today, it may be early next week.

2023 Pool Season

We are planning on opening the Pool for the Memorial Day weekend, but as of this writing, the City inspector has not yet come by to approve the opening. They tend to not make appointments and just show up.

We are ready and have been for some time. As soon as we have the approval to open, we will post the operating schedule.
