Recommended Watering Schedule

The Watering Schedule was developed by College Station Water Services to help our customers conserve precious drinking water while still maintaining a healthy landscape. Compliance with the watering days in the schedule is voluntary in Stage 1 of the Drought Contingency Plan (May 1 - September 30). Compliance is mandatory upon a declaration of Stage 2 or Stage 3 by the City Manager under the City of College Station's Drought Contingency Plan. If you have questions about the watering schedule, please call 979-764-3660 or email Jennifer Nations (jnations@cstx.gov). Water sprinkler
