(KATY) - Effective Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 12:01 a.m. the City of Katy Returns to Stage 2 of the Drought Contingency Plan. The goal for water use reduction under Stage 2, Moderate, is a 10 percent reduction of water use compared to Baseline Historical Monthly Average Water Usage as calculated by the city, based on the water usage data over the previous 12-month period.
Residents are asked to only water up to three days per week between 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. based on the last digit of your address.
The watering schedule is based on the last digit of your address:
Even Number - Monday, Wednesday, Saturday
Odd Number - Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
Commercial/HOAs - Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
Also, under Stage 2, Moderate, the following will be implemented:
Continue or initiate any actions available under Stage 1.
Initiate engineering studies to evaluate alternatives should conditions worsen.
Further accelerate public education efforts on ways to reduce water use.
Halt nonessential city government water use, including street cleaning, vehicle washing, and operation of ornamental fountains.
Encourage the public to wait until the current drought or emergency situation has passed before establishing new landscaping.
Ask the public to reduce watering and/or irrigate landscape to three (3) times a week, and water between 12am to 8am and 8pm to 11:59 p.m.
Limit hydrant flushing (except for water system repairs), flushing gutters, or allowing water to run or accumulate in any street.
Encourage reduction of water use for power washing of buildings, sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, tennis courts, or other hard-surfaced areas.
