Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District has implemented 15% MANDATORY Drought Water Reductions effective for all exempt and non-exempt water wells.  The MANDATORY Reductions are effective January 1 through December 31, 2024.

This will reduce the City of Highland Haven groundwater permit from 82 acre feet to 69 acre feet; therefore, all Highland Haven water customers are required to reduce water use immediately.

With a link to more info:

The City of Highland Haven Board of Alderman will be reviewing and updating our drought contingency plan to comply with our reduced water permit.
