RICHARDSON WATER UTILITY ASKS WEST RICHARDSON RESIDENTS TO CONSERVE WATER USE THIS WEEKEND

Residents asked to turn off water sprinklers Friday night through Saturday morning as work crews install new connections for a new 48 inch water main.
(Richardson, TX) – Richardson’s water utility is asking several west Richardson neighborhoods to leave their lawn sprinkler systems off from 4 p.m. Friday (March 18, 2011) to noon Saturday morning (March 19, 2011), when a T-connection for a new 48-inch water main will be installed. The installation will take place near the intersection of Custer Parkway and Renner Road.
The Public Services Department says it will top-off its water towers in the affected area to prepare for water needs while the work is in progress, but asks residents to reduce water usage in case the replacement work takes slightly longer than anticipated.
The North Texas Municipal Water District is installing a new 48 inch water main along Renner Road between Shiloh Road and Custer Parkway. The new line is replacing a 30-year old 42-inch water main that serves Richardson.

List of neighborhoods affected by the water conservation request:
