Dear Brushy Creek residents:

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is encouraging all taxpayers to support Texas businesses May 25-27 as part of an initiative to promote water-efficient products and take advantage of a sales tax holiday weekend. 

During the holiday period, you can buy any product tax free that displays a WaterSense® label or logo. These items can be bought for either personal or business purposes.

Examples of items that qualify for the exemption include:

• a soaker or drip-irrigation hose
• a moisture control for a sprinkler or irrigation system
• mulch
• a rain barrel or an alternative rain and moisture collection system
• a permeable ground cover surface that allows water to reach underground basins, aquifers or water collection points
• plants, trees and grasses
• water-saving surfactants
• soil and compost

Examples of items that do not qualify for the exemption include

• construction/building materials
• awnings and other items used to create shade
• air conditioners
• ceiling fans
• sprinklers
