Georgetown's Water Crisis: Exploring the Struggle to Meet Demands and Enforce Restrictions

Georgetown, the fastest-growing city in the U.S., is struggling to meet its water demands due to excessive irrigation, water supply challenges, and severe drought conditions. The city's water treatment plant is currently offline for rehabilitation, and it is not receiving its full contracted amount of water from a neighboring city. As a result, around 35% of the city's water customers remain under Stage 3 water restrictions, prohibiting outdoor watering. The city officials urge residents to follow the rules to ensure safe drinking water and maintain adequate pressure for emergencies.
