Voluntary Watering Schedules Encouraged
Because of ongoing drought conditions, and the current statewide disaster proclamation issued by Governor Rick Perry, the City is asking residents, businesses and homeowners associations (HOAs) to cut back all outdoor water usage to help spread and balance peak water demands. Voluntary compliance will help ensure an adequate water supply and pressure for the entire City's needs, including fire protection.
