City Council OK water management plan Frisco City Council members adopted an updated, simplified version of the city’s Water Management Plan during a May 7 meeting. The updates, which include specific dates for each season and when to use an outdoor watering system, are expected to advocate against unnecessary waste, Public Works Director Gabe Johnson said during an April 2 work session meeting. The gist The new schedule can seem more restric- tive but will promote less water waste over time through a consistent schedule, Johnson said. The new policies also only apply to the watering systems as there are no restrictions on hand-watering. More information can be found on the city’s website.
