As a wholesale customer of Austin Water, the District follows the same water restrictions as the City of Austin. As a result of combined storage levels of water in Lake Travis and Buchanan expected to drop below 900,000 acre feet over the next few days, Stage 2 water measures should be taken.

Stage 2 Watering Restrictions Summary

• Automatic irrigation and hose-end watering is restricted to one day per week.
• Automatic irrigation runtime is reduced by 3 hours with cutoff at 5 a.m. instead of 8 a.m.
• Water waste is prohibited.
• Restaurants may serve water only upon request.
• Charity car washes are prohibited, and home car washing must use an auto-shut-off valve or a bucket.
• Patio misters at commercial properties, including restaurants and bars, may operate only between 4 p.m. and midnight.
• Large ornamental fountains can no longer be operated.
• New landscape-establishment irrigation is no longer exempt from the watering schedule.
