Watering schedule changed as system struggles

 

 

From the WTCPUA -

 

"The West Travis County Public Utility Agency has experienced significant high water demand related to the lack of significant rainfall and the recent high temperatures.  The water demands are primarily during the overnight hours and related to landscape irrigation. 

 

 

These increased demands have made it difficult to properly manage the delivery of domestic water to all customers.  In an attempt to balance the needs and desires of our customers while maintaining a safe, reliable public water supply system, the West Travis County Public Utility Agency is revising the twice per week watering schedule as set forth below, effective immediately:
Residential Customers are allowed to use water for outside irrigation only on the following days, based on their address:
    •    Monday & Thursday - Addresses ending in 0,1,2,3
    •    Tuesday & Friday - Addresses ending in 4,5,6
    •    Wednesday & Saturday - Addresses ending in 7,8,9
    •    No outdoor watering allowed on Sundays
Commercial Customers (including large landscapes such as HOA common areas) are allowed to use water for outside irrigation only on the following days:
    •    Tuesday & Friday – All Commercial and HOAs may water landscapes
    •    No watering is allowed on Sunday
Watering times are 12:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. and/or 7:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m.
