Sprinkler systems OFF, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
The watering of lawns and landscapes using irrigation systems (watering with sprinklers) in the City of Burleson is prohibited for both residential and commercial water customers  between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. any day of the year. The purpose of this year-round restriction is to prevent the unnecessary loss of water emitted from sprinklers due to evaporation.
