Notes

• Population figures are based on the most recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates available at the time this document was prepared and will shift with future estimates.
• Many of these cities purchase water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), so their base schedules often move together, though each city enforces its own ordinance. Others draw from Dallas Water Utilities, Tarrant Regional Water District, or Upper Trinity Regional Water District, and their schedules can diverge accordingly.
• Schedules by address (odd or even) and time-of-day restrictions change periodically with drought stage declarations, so the linked pages should be treated as the authoritative source for current terms.
