Voluntary Water Conservation

The City of Mesquite is asking residents and businesses to conserve water voluntarily due to continued unseasonably hot temperatures and a lack of rainfall. As a result, residents and businesses are reminded of the city’s water conservation plan which limits watering to twice per week, before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Watering during these hours in hot temperatures eliminates evaporation.
