Water Conservation Measures Implemented in Georgetown and Hutto
The City of Georgetown in Texas has implemented Stage 3 of its Drought Contingency Plan, prohibiting outdoor watering until July 17 due to high water use nearing system treatment capacity. Water customers must turn off irrigation systems, and the city will decide next week whether to extend or increase the restrictions. Water production from treatment plants has exceeded capacity, and conservation is necessary to avoid boil water notices. The restrictions also apply to Round Rock and City of Leander water customers.
