The mayor stated  the move was necessary because supply could not keep up with demand, following a water line break two weeks ago that spilled  2 million gallons of water.
The city already had  implemented a Stage Five water restriction, which included no watering, no washing cars, and  no filling or adding water to swimming pools.
That ban will remain in effect when the water is turned back on tomorrow.
Failure to adhere to the ban is punishable by a fine of up to $500. Â Three violations can result in a citizen's water being turned off permanently.
On another note, we had two of our residents robbed two or three days ago. Our front door is unlocked during business hours. Two women, dressed as home health aides, came in, knocked on two women's doors, gained entry and stole their billfolds, somehow without the people immediately realizing it. Both had their purses sitting on their bars in the kitchen. I do this all the time. By the time the women realized it, the people involved (and I suspect there were accomplices waiting) had driven across town and had run up several thousand dollars worth of charges on the ladies' bank and credit cards.
It seems this is happening throughout Dallas at senior citizen complexes. They have quite a little scam going. Home health aides come and go all the time at senior complexes, so no one gets immediately suspicious if he or she sees one.
