Travis County MUD No. 10 is in Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan (DCP). Customers may irrigate twice per week, on their designated days and during the designated hours as shown on the chart below.

Stage 1 Drought

While there are no imposed limits for water use by residents under Stage I, the Board does ask everyone to conserve as much as possible. The LCRA is also in Stage 1 of its DCP for customers using raw water from the lake to irrigate. You can view their DCP for raw water users here, or by visiting the LCRA Domestic water use site.

Travis County MUD No.10 purchases raw water from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) via a contract and draws water out of Lake Travis to treat and produce potable drinking water for its residents. Such purchases are subject to LCRA’s DCP as well as the DCP of Travis County MUD No.10. The District recently amended its DCP to meet the requirements of the LCRA and still be protective of its water source. Click here to view the amended District’s DCP.

There are now 5 stages, each with its own set of trigger points and irrigation rules.

  • Stage I Mild – Twice per week irrigation allowed on your designated days and during the designated hours. No longer voluntary. Monthly water allowance issued for HOAs/POAs.
