Dripping Springs residents are still experiencing a water shortage, but city officials have since decreased from Stage 5 water restrictions effective July 21 to Stage 4 effective July 24.
Stage 4 prohibits Dripping Springs Water Supply Corp. customers from using water to operate water features, such as fountains, splash pads and misters, or to wash a motor vehicle.
Public pools are allowed to fill water to maintain a safe water quality. Golf courses receiving water from the DSWSC must develop a drought contingency plan.
Residents may only water their lawn with a handheld hose or drip irrigation systems between 7 a.m.-10 a.m. or 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Odd-number addresses can irrigate on Saturdays, and even-number addresses can water on Tuesdays.
