Full Breakdown
The city's Drought Contingency Plan keeps Stage 1 watering rules in effect year-round: each address gets one or two watering days set by the last digit of the street number, and sprinklers or irrigation systems can only run before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on those days. Hand-watering with a hose is allowed anytime, any day. Sports fields in active use, including Old Settlers Park and YMCA fields, are exempt for safety. Letting water run onto pavement, watering off your assigned schedule, or ignoring a known leak counts as water waste, which residents can report to Utilities and Environmental Services at 512-671-2872.
Violations & Fines
Watering outside your assigned day or the 10 a.m.-7 p.m. curfew, letting irrigation run onto streets, or leaving a known leak unrepaired counts as water waste and can be reported for enforcement.
