Cedar Park could fall into a mandatory watering schedule by Sept. 1 if current extreme drought conditions continue as expected, Utilities Program Manager Katherine Woerner said during the July 14 council meeting.
The mandatory watering schedule takes effect at Stage 2 of the city's drought contingency plan and requires watering to occur a maximum of twice per week, placing additional restrictions on certain nonessential watering.
An ancillary issue the council is working out with the potential mandatory restrictions are the cost for the enforcement along with the additional load to the municipal courts.
Texas is in the midst of the third-worst drought in state history. "Typically June is a relatively wet month for us," Woerner said. "If things continue to progress, it could become the first-worst [drought in Texas history]."
