Dear Customer,

The recent rains over the past two weeks has increased the combined storage of lakes Buchanan and Travis. As a result the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is no longer in a drought response stage. However, all firm water customers, which includes Travis County MUD No.10, are required to limit irrigation to no more than twice per week, on your allowed days and only between the hours of midnight to 10am and 7pm to midnight.

See the watering schedule below to identify your days. Be sure to set your automatic irrigation systems accordingly to be in compliance.

Stage 1 Drought

History has a way of repeating itself and the water levels in our lakes have a long history of droughts. Most droughts last between 7 to 11 years. It is critical that everyone continue to practice water conservation as the next major rain or flood event could be another 7+ years away. In addition, the LCRA has contractual agreements with businesses downstream. With the new combined levels, there is a very good chance the LCRA will release water out of Lake Travis downstream in March and again in July of next year.

We need to begin prudent conservation practices now to stretch our available water supply to ensure it lasts at least until the next large rainfall.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the district’s office at 512.402.1990.

Sincerely,

Travis County MUD No.10 Board of Directors
