That may or may not be true, but water- ing our lawns does account for half or more of all the water we use at home. And according to the experts, most lawns get twice as much water as they need. EULESS' WATER CONSERVATION REGULATIONS ARE: • Outdoor watering with sprinklers is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. year round. •Watering with hand-held hoses and soaker hoses is allowed at any time. • Never water outdoors when it's raining. • Make sure sprinklers spray water onto plants, not concrete, such as sidewalks and roads. Learn more about water conservation at www.savetarrantwater.com or www.txsmartscape.com. It's so much cooler to water when it's cooler.

Safe Outdoor Cooking The outdoor cooking season is upon us and the Euless Fire Department urges you to be safe. The U.S. Fire Administration reports there are approximately 6,500 fires caused by outdoor cooking each year. While the death and injury rate from these fires is low, they cause approximately $27,000,000 in property loss in the United States every year. Nearly half of residential fires caused by grills occur on courts, terraces, patios, balconies and porches. Many of these are in violation of local laws. If you plan to cook outdoors in something other than a commercially built grill, such as in a ground pit, you must call the fire department ahead of time for requirements as to size and use. Cooking is not allowed on patios and balconies in apartment complexes. Grills in apartments must be at least ten feet away from buildings and overhangs. Remember these general safety tips: • Never overfill a propane tank • If you are using a propane -fired grill, check the gas line connections and make sure that the venturi tubes (where the gas and air are mixed) are not blocked • Do not wear loose fitting clothing while cooking • Do not put lighter fluid on an already lit fire • Do not leave the fire unattended • Keep all matches and lighters away from children • Dispose of coals properly: Douse them with plenty of water and stir them to ensure they are out. Do not place them in combustible containers • Never grill in an enclosed space or indoors: The carbon monoxide produced can kill you Have a safe outdoor cooking season! 3 Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri ♦ 6:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ♦ Thurs ♦ 6:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. Diane Eggers -Center Supervisor: 817-685-1670 Blake Cloud -Activities Coordinator: 817-685-1871 June Scheduled Activities 3 Hamburgers $2 11:45 a.m. 10 White Elephant Bingo, Potluck 9:00 a.m. Movie "Country Strong" 12:30 p.m. 17 AARP Driving Class $12/$14 9:00 a.m. Hot Dogs $2 11:45 a.m. 24 Biscuits & Gravy $2 9:00 a.m. Sam Moons & Lunch 9:00 am *Registration is required for all activities one week prior to the event.
