Second Reading of an Ordinance amending Title13, Chapter 13.15. Section 13.15.040 of the Code of Ordinances titled “Water Use Requirements” modifying the current irrigation schedule to more effectively manage the City’s water resources and maintain compliance with the Texas Administrative Code Title 30, Chapter 288 -- James Foutz, Marketing and Conservation Manager and Leticia Zavala, Customer Care Director

Changes to the irrigation schedule are needed to address peak demand and long term water usage. These modifications were updated in the 2019 Water Conservation Plan and will reduce the impact to the distribution system, by leveling the demand over six days instead of four. These changes apply to automatic irrigation systems and hose-end sprinklers. Monday’s are still reserved as a system recovery day to maintain optimal operation of the water system.

The proposed two day per week watering schedule promotes long term water savings and reduces peak demand experienced during the outdoor irrigation months. The proposed schedule is below:
