Until further notice, we are activating stage four emergency water conditions. With the leak we’ve had that put a strain on the system, we have also lost a well motor trying to replenish in the middle of all this. Please see the information and attachment below. For any questions, please call the office at 512-321-1688. Thank you.
Section 4.05 Stage 4 response-Emergency water shortage conditions/water emergency.
A. Goal. Achieve a reduction in daily water demand sufficient to assure the water system for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare until the stage 4 trigger criteria(s) can be abated.
B. Supply management measures. The President of the Board of Directors or his/her designee shall implement supply management measures that discontinue flushing of water mains, irrigation of public landscaped areas and all water usage at water and wastewater plants not required for direct operations of the facilities. Water usage at all District buildings shall be restricted to health, sanitation, cleanliness or firefighting purposes. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a sample notice to customers of the implementation of the water use restrictions.
C. Mandatory water use restrictions. Under threat of penalty for violation, all requirements of stage 3 shall remain in effect during stage 4 except:
(1) Irrigation of landscaped areas is absolutely prohibited.
(2) Use of water to wash any motor vehicle, motorbike, boat, trailer, airplane or other vehicle is absolutely prohibited.
(3) Curtailment of service to persons shown to be of violation of prohibited uses of water may be ordered by the President of the Board of Directors or his/her designee, if the President of the Board of Directors or his/her designee determines that such curtailment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, and determines that such curtailment would benefit the mitigation of stage 4 conditions.
