Round Rock's first tier of watering restrictions calling for biweekly residential outdoor watering days was enacted in late June 2022. More than a year later, these restrictions are still in place.
What happened
In June 2022, the city of Round Rock enacted Stage 1 watering restrictions limiting outdoor watering to two days per week based on a resident's address. Drought restrictions in Round Rock are based on the water supply, demand and capacity of water treatment plants; wholesale suppliers; and public health, safety and wellness triggers. The restrictions may be lifted by the city manager if the conditions triggering them have been resolved or if the city manager determines it to be in the city's best interest to terminate the restrictions. City officials also adjusted the drought contingency plan to encourage residents to follow Stage 1 water restrictions on a voluntary basis year-round with shifted watering times in May.
