Why is watering not allowed between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.?

These hours are prohibited through Highland Village’s Water Conservation Ordinance because this tends to be the warmest part of the day, which increases water loss from evaporation.  It’s more efficient to water during the early morning or late evening hours when the heat is lower and the winds are not as high.
