Dear Homeowner,
We know that most of our customers have been following the watering schedule, and for that we want to thank you. We appreciate the sacrifice you are making to ensure that there is enough water available for consumption, sanitation, and fire protection. Unfortunately, off-schedule landscape irrigation by automatic sprinklers has increased to the point where the District is once again unable to maintain safe levels of storage for fire protection. We have implemented Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan and posted a new watering schedule which allows for one designated watering day per week for each address. We ask that you take notice of these changes and modify your irrigation systems accordingly.
Please note that homeowners who allow their automatic sprinklers to run outside of the posted schedule are in violation of the District’s rules and are subject to fines up to $2,000 per day. You can report off-schedule watering by leaving a comment on the District website at www.wellbornsud.com/contact-us or calling the District offices at 979-690-9799.
We hope that you will continue to do your part to ensure we all have enough water. Dozens of
grassfires have already occurred in the area, and the risk of a large-scale wildfire increases daily. It is absolutely essential to maintain a reserve of water for fire protection, and under current water demand we have very little to no reserve at all each morning. Failure to reduce water demand will result in stricter conservation restrictions, including a prohibition on outdoor watering.
Sincerely,
Wellborn Special Utility District
