Highland Village initiates mandatory phase 2 water restrictions

Published: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 10:23 AM CDT
Mandatory phase 2 water restrictions limiting landscape watering for Highland Village residents went into effect on Monday. Phase 2 prohibits residential and commercial landscape watering on Monday's and Friday's and restricts watering the rest of the days of the week between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Wasteful water runoff is prohibited, which includes hosing down pavement or rinsing off cars. Groundwater well owners and residents that draw water from the lake are required to post a sign showing well water or lake water is in use.


Residents are encouraged to comply with the Phase 2 water restrictions; however the city will diligently enforce the restrictions. Residents violating the water restrictions can expect to fall under enforcement as outlined by City Ordinance 07-1035.

It is important to conserve water and that the city succeed in phase 2 of its water management program. The city must be serious about compliance and enforcement of the program to avoid moving to stage 3 restrictions.

The city is requesting that all residents reduce their landscape water consumption by 50 percent. Phase 2 was triggered automatically by ordinance when the city water supply consumption reached greater than 80 percent for three consecutive days. Phase 2 is a water management plan to ensure a reliable water quality to provide the reserves before and after the weekend.
