Under Stage 4, the use of automatic or hose-end sprinklers and soaker hoses is prohibited on all days and at all times.
KERRVILLE, Texas — The City of Kerrville declared a water supply emergency on Monday and is moving to Stage 4 water restrictions after flooding at Lake Nimitz from the July Fourth disaster rendered the city’s water treatment plant inoperable.
The water restrictions take effect Monday night at midnight, according to Kerrville officials. Under the restrictions, the use of automatic or hose-end sprinklers and soaker hoses is prohibited on all days and at all times.
Officials say city staff will continue to use groundwater wells to meet demand while crews work to repair the treatment plant.
According to officials, there are no issues with the quality of treated water currently being supplied. The restrictions are in place strictly as a water management measure to help conserve the city’s groundwater supply.
Updates on plant repairs, conservation efforts and enforcement will be released as information becomes available, Kerrville officials say.
