Lake level update - Drought Stage 1 in effect
Due to falling reservoir levels, TRWD implemented Stage 1 of its Drought Plan on Monday, June 3. With storage capacity in water supply reservoirs at 75% and drought conditions returning to North Texas, the water district is seeking to slow the drop in lake levels by requesting its customer cities implement mandatory outdoor water restrictions.
The Stage 1 drought measures include a twice per week limit on outdoor watering with sprinklers and irrigation systems. The measures will apply to all communities served by the water district, which covers almost all of Tarrant and several surrounding counties.
