Stage 3 Water Restrictions

January 08, 2024

To All Customers of Crystal Clear SUD;

As you each know, moderate drought conditions have returned to Texas, and forecasters are predicting that conditions may persist or worsen for the state. Crystal Clear Special Utility District (CCSUD) has been notified that when the Canyon Reservoir is less than 895 feet; Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) has imposed 5% restrictions on CCSUD’s wholesale water provider Canyon Regional Water Authority (CRWA). Therefore, CCSUD will stay in Stage 3 Water Restrictions and encourage all customers to conserve and follow the restrictions applied during Sage 3 rationing.

Stage 3 water rationing will continue to be in effect and shall remain in effect until further notice or until:

1. the EAA changes its drought restrictions, or
2. CCSUD gives notice of a change in drought stages or ends water rationing.

The following restrictions apply during Stage 3 rationing:

1. No landscape watering between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
2. No washing of parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, or streets unless for health or safety reasons.
3. Swimming pools should be at least 25% covered by evaporation shields when not in use.
4. No car washing at home except on watering days and times and no runoff into street or off property.
5. No use of water for ornamental outdoor fountains unless water is recycled.
6. Landscape watering permitted on no more than one designated day each week, except that water applied by buckets, handheld or soaker hoses or drip-irrigation systems is permitted to maintain shrubs, trees, and ornamental plants, but not grass or turf on any day.

ADDRESSES ENDING WITH:

ODD NUMBERS ON TUESDAY ONLY

EVEN NUMBERS ON THURSDAY ONLY

A complete copy of CCSUD’s Drought Contingency Plan is available for review at our website crystalclearsud.org. If you believe you have a health or safety reason that would justify an individual customer “good cause” exemption from Stage 3 rationing, you may send a written request to the CCSUD business office. Watering ornamental vegetation or lawns is not considered a good cause.

Thank you for your cooperation!
