Water restrictions in Converse, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Converse water customers follow San Antonio Water System drought rules tied to Edwards Aquifer levels at the J-17 monitoring well. Stage 1 through 4 restrictions set watering days and hours.
Converse water service is provided largely by the San Antonio Water System which draws from the Edwards Aquifer. SAWS applies Edwards Aquifer Authority drought rules based on the 10-day average level at the J-17 well. Stage 1 triggers at 660 feet: landscape watering with sprinklers or irrigation is limited to one day per week by address from 7 to 11 am and 7 to 11 pm. Stage 2 at 650 feet adds further restrictions. Stages 3 and 4 tighten further as the aquifer drops. Hand watering with a handheld hose, drip irrigation, and soaker hoses under 5 gpm are generally allowed any day at any time in most stages. Washing driveways with potable water, fountains without recirculation, and overwatering to runoff are prohibited year round. Violations start with warnings and escalate to fines up to 500 dollars.
