Water conservation urged to avoid summer rationing
Plano officials warn that voluntary limits could prevent enforced water rationing this summer. Al Dougal cites 7.8 million gallons pumped Sunday as wasteful beyond the 8 million daily safe level, risking 9 million if usage stays high. City Manager David Griffin stresses fire protection relies on the same supply and urges residents to cap lawn watering at about 10,000 gallons monthly amid delayed west side pipeline projects.

Zoning Denied for Plano Annexation Plan by P and Z Commission
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied without prejudice a large annexation and zoning request covering 447.39 acres in northwest Plano. Fox and Jacobs Inc. sought mixed uses across several parcels including Planned Development Single Family Attached and Multi-Family zones. The panel also rejected a Pitman Creek Estates land study but approved Pitman Creek North and Prairie Creek No. 3 studies. Water-shortage notes urged conservation with peak demand 6 pm to midnight and possible rationing if usage remains high.
