In a nutshell
Extreme temperatures are causing the Katy area to experience high water demand, according to a release from the city.
The city is in Stage 2 of its drought contingency plan, or “moderate” drought.
Going forward
Stage 2 means the city is requesting residents to reduce water consumption by 10%.
According to the city website, nonessential city water use will halt; public landscaping projects will be put on pause; and power washing is encouraged to be reduced.
Additionally, a landscape watering schedule went into effect depending on resident addresses lasting from 12-8 a.m. and 8-11:59 p.m.
