EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: STAGE 3 WATERING RESTRICTIONS
We were notified by the WTCPUA that they are initiating Stage 3 water restrictions effective today due to extreme temperatures and continued high demand on the water system. The WCID is required to initiate Stage 3 restrictions when the WTCPUA does so. Stage 3 allows once per week watering between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on your designated watering day.
These restricted hours also apply to hand watering. The allowed methods of hand watering landscaped areas are with hand-held hoses, faucet-filled buckets or watering cans of five gallons or less, soaker hose or tree gator watering bags.

LIFTED - JULY 24, 2026
Mandatory Suspension of All Outdoor Watering Restriction – LIFTED
The water quality from Lake Austin has improved and the water treatment plant is operating at normal capacity. Thank you for your cooperation. Please continue to water only once per week between 6:00 am -10:00 am and 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm on your designated day.
Mandatory Suspension of All Outdoor Watering Effective Immediately
To protect the integrity of the water system and ensure adequate water supplies remain available for essential domestic use and fire protection, all customers are required to immediately discontinue all outdoor watering, irrigation, and other non-essential water use through at least Friday, July 24, 2026.
Due to recent flooding across Central Texas, significant amounts of sediment, silt, and other particulate matter have entered the Highland Lakes system. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) has activated floodstage operations and is continuing to release water at Mansfield Dam and through Tom Miller Dam which further impacts raw water conditions on Lake Austin.
To help ensure water supplies remain available for essential daily needs and fire protection, all customers must immediately discontinue all outdoor irrigation and other non-essential outdoor water use. Essential uses include water for drinking, cooking, bathing, sanitation, and other household needs.
LCRA has reported that conditions throughout the watershed remain dynamic and could change rapidly with additional rainfall or increased inflows. Additional floodgate operations may become necessary. Our operations team is monitoring raw water conditions and treatment plant performance around the clock and is making operational adjustments as needed.
An update will be provided to customers on Friday, July 24, 2026, regarding system conditions, ongoing flood operations, and whether these emergency restrictions can be lifted.
It will take a combined effort to achieve the reduction in capacity that we are needing to get through this event. If we do not manage the irrigation demands on the system, we are at risk of running out of water for domestic use.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to helping protect our community's water supply during this event.

IMPORTANT CUSTOMER NOTICE
The district’s water reuse conversion project is nearing completion in Reunion Ranch.
Most of the common areas in Reunion Ranch have been converted from potable water to reuse water for irrigation.
With this conversion, the community now has the ability to save over 15 million gallons of potable water annually, promoting water conservation and enhancing our capacity to meet current and future demand.
During the initial testing, a few issues were identified that required additional attention.
As part of this process, crews have also been locating existing utilities prior to excavation, and residents may have noticed utility flags throughout the community. As part of this work, crews have been actively locating existing lines and performing necessary excavations, which has resulted in temporary disturbances, including exposed areas, dirt, and construction-related mess in certain parts of the community. We understand these conditions can be inconvenient and unsightly and want to assure residents that all affected areas will be properly restored as quickly as possible. We are currently anticipating completion of this work by mid-April.
We appreciate the community’s patience and support as Reunion Ranch WCID continues improving the district’s reuse water system to better serve our residents.
