Water Conservation
Water Conservation Programs
In 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature amended Section 13.146 of the Texas Water Code to require each retail public utility that provides potable water service to 3,300 or more connections to submit a water conservation plan to the Texas Water Development Board no later than May 1, 2009. On April 27, 2009, the City Council adopted a City Water Conservation Plan and approved submission of the plan to the Texas Water Development Board.
As part of the Water Conservation Plan the city has implemented a Water Conservation Program. This program is being implemented in stages throughout the following year to include such initiatives as the year-round allowable hours for landscape watering, toilet replacement voucher program and water usage audits.
