We also suggest checking the sprinkler heads in your irrigation system to make sure that they are adjusted and working properly so that they are not wasting water by spraying onto the street, sidewalks or driveway.
You may have received a phone call from the City of Marble Falls regarding your scheduled watering day. Please do not follow this schedule. Meadowlakes is not using the same watering schedule as Marble Falls. These calls are from an automated system. We are trying to determine why they are calling Meadowlakes and hope to have the problem resolved shortly.
