A tiny cattle and ranching town nestled in Central Texas is experiencing water supply woes so severe that it recently only had about a day's worth of water left.
The Texas Water Company, which draws its water from the Canyon Lake Reservoir, had already been struggling to keep up with the city's water demands in the last several weeks, Arnold said, describing the pipe malfunction as "a common occurrence."
The dire situation triggered a Stage 6 drought contingency water restriction, which shut down all industrial and recreational users in town while the Texas Water Company worked to isolate and repair the leak. All outdoor usage was also prohibited, except for providing drinking water to livestock.The city is currently relying on water deliveries from the Texas Water Company until its own water plant is back online in early 2024, Arnold said.
Residential, commercial, wholesale and industrial customers were instructed to avoid engaging in landscape irrigation until further notice. Bulk water haulers are prohibited from pulling water from hydrants until further notice, the city said on Monday.
