Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) invites the public to the 32nd Annual Water-Wise Landscape Tour on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the White Rock Pump Station, located at 2900 White Rock Road. The annual event is one of DWU’s longest-running conservation initiatives. The Water-Wise Landscape Tour supports the City’s ongoing commitment to educating the public on sustainable landscaping practices that promote water conservation.
The event will feature residential water-wise landscapes that demonstrate innovative water conservation techniques, including drip irrigation, rain barrels, soaker hoses and composting systems. Featured gardens will also showcase native and climate-adapted plants that thrive in North Texas, providing residents with practical examples of attractive, water-efficient landscaping. Tour maps will be available at White Rock Pump Station.
The gardens also highlight a variety of native and climate-adapted plants that thrive in North Texas, including salvias, Texas sage, Turk’s cap, Gregg’s mistflower, lantana, red yucca, Texas mountain laurel, and black-eyed Susans.
In addition to the residential tours, DWU will offer educational and interactive activities at White Rock Pump Station from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The public can enjoy free activities including arts and crafts; irrigation booths with conservation experts; seed ball-making activity and a trivia contest to win native shrubs and plants.
