AUSTIN (KXAN) — Water restrictions vary from city to city, and each community has its own hierarchy of restrictions based upon drought contingency plans. That means Stage 2 restrictions in Austin may not be the same as those in Dripping Springs.
To help keep track, KXAN has created a map and database so you can easily find the restrictions in your city. We will keep these updated as cities change drought stages.
Here are the most-recent changes to water restrictions:
- Jarrell moved from Stage 3 to Stage 2
- Aqua WSC moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2
- Austin moved from Stage 2 to year-round restrictions
- Hutto moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2
- Lago Vista moved from Stage 2 to year-round restrictions
- Travis County WCID 10 moved from Stage 2 to year-round restrictions
- Wells Branch MUD moved from Stage 2 to year-round restrictions
