Stage 2 Restrictions Eased to Stage 1

Lakeway Municipal Utility District (District) has moved from Stage 2 water restrictions to Stage 1, indicating only mild water shortage conditions.

Commercial, association and other large irrigation consumers, as well as individuals, are encouraged to be aware of demands on the system and make reductions where possible. The goal is a five percent total reduction in daily water demand.

As the weather cools down, the District encourages consumers to insulate pipes and fittings to prevent freezing rather than leaving faucets running or dripping.

Voluntary Water Use Restrictions

The following irrigation schedule is encouraged.

Residential

Odd-numbered addresses: Wednesdays and Saturdays

Even-numbered addresses: Thursdays and Sundays

Commercial

Tuesdays and Fridays

Irrigation after 10 a.m. and before 7 p.m. is prohibited to reduce evaporation.
