Katy enforces a multi-stage drought plan with mandatory twice-weekly outdoor watering windows tied to address numbers and land use.
The City of Katy Drought Contingency Plan, adopted under Chapter 13 of the city code, sets staged restrictions triggered by well levels and demand. In Stage 3, residents may water only twice weekly, before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.: even-numbered addresses on Sunday and Thursday, odd addresses on Saturday and Wednesday, and commercial, HOA, and right-of-way users on Tuesday and Friday. Monday is a no-water recovery day. Hosing pavement, washing vehicles by open hose, operating ornamental fountains, and runoff are prohibited.
Watering on the wrong day or time, hosing paved surfaces, washing vehicles by open hose, running ornamental fountains, or wasting water during active drought stages.
