A hand-held hose maybe used any day of the week at any time.

Water Restriction Informational Flyer

The City of Alamo Heights is partnering with Caroma and Morrison Supply Company on a toilet replacement voucher program for Alamo Heights water customers.

Due to drought conditions, Alamo Heights is experiencing Stage 1 water restrictions. This includes limiting landscape watering to one designated day per week at specific hours, no impervious outdoor ground washing (parking lot, driveway, etc.), restaurants serving water only when customers request, and several additional restrictions. As part of these ongoing efforts to conserve limited water supplies the City of Alamo Heights has created the toilet replacement voucher program to help conserve water in the house.

An informational flyer with two vouchers will inserted with your June water bill. If you have any additional questions please contact the Public Works department at (210) 882-1518.
