The City of Brackettville uses drought rules, established by our Contingency Plan to proactively manage the Districts water resources.
Stage 1 restrictions begin when the 10-day rolling average of the well pumping level drop to 50 feet. Coming out of the drought stages can be considered 45 days after the aquifer is above the trigger level.
► Landscape watering with an irrigation system, sprinkler or soaker hose is allowed two times a week before 10am and after 8pm on your designated watering day.
► Water waste is always prohibited. Water waste includes allowing water to run off into a gutter, ditch, or drain; or failing to repair a controllable leak.
► Reduce water consumption by any means available.
► Hand watering with a hand-held hose, drip irrigation, bucket or watering can is allowed any time and any day.
► Washing impervious cover such as parking lots, driveways, streets, or sidewalks is prohibited. Health and safety exceptions to this rule may be requested.
► Residential car washing allowed during drought once per week on Saturday or Sunday if there is no water waste. No street runoff allowed.
Landscape watering with an irrigation system or sprinkler is allowed only TWO TIMES a week before 10:00 am and after 8:00pm on your designated watering day as determined by the last digit of your street address.
No watering is allowed on weekends with a sprinkler or irrigation system.
