North Texas Municipal Water District board votes to relax Stage
3 water restrictions
Revised water plan will allow once every seven days landscape
watering effective April 1st
(Wylie,
Texas-March 29, 2012) The board of directors for the North Texas Municipal
Water District (NTMWD) voted Thursday to relax the Stage 3 Enhanced
provisions of the NTMWD's Water Conservation and Drought Contingency/Water
Emergency Response Plan (The Plan) that went into effect
January 2012 in response to the on-going drought and water supply issues.
Although
NTMWD still cannot access 28% of the total NTMWD raw water supply from Lake
Texoma because of the zebra mussel infestation,
recent rainstorms helped fill Lakes Lavon and Jim Chapman to near or above
normal levels, long-term weather forecasts are improving and ongoing water
conservation efforts by consumers combined to allow NTMWD to return to
published Stage 3 water provisions. The Stage 3 water use reduction goal of
10% remains in place.
With
the return to Stage 3 provisions, approved by the board and effective April
1, 2012,
landscape
watering will be allowed once every seven days. In addition, the Stage 3
provisions approved allow:
• Use
of soaker or hand held hoses for watering foundations, trees and new
landscaping for up to two hours per day.
• Public
athletic fields used for competition may be watered twice per week.
• Golf
course greens and tee boxes can be watered without restrictions.
• Registered
and properly operating ET/Smart irrigation and drip systems may also be
used without restrictions.
• You
can operate ornamental fountains if treated water is used.
• Hydroseeding,
hydromulching and sprigging is
allowed.
• Existing
swimming pools can be drained and refilled.
The
board authorized continuing the following mandatory water use restrictions:
• No
hosing of paved areas, buildings, or windows but pressure washing of
impervious
surfaces
is allowed.
• No
washing or rinsing of vehicles by hose except with a hose-end cutoff
nozzle.
• No
use of water in such a manner as to allow runoff or other waste.
NTMWD
is encouraging consumers to follow the specific guidelines for their
community.
Consumers
are also urged to check the control units and rain sensors on their
irrigation to prevent unnecessary usage, and to repair any water leaks
around the house.
“Because
of our ongoing water supply issue with Lake Texoma,
which normally provides 28 percent of our water supply, we all need to
continue our conservation efforts to make sure we can continue to meet the
long-term water needs of NTMWD’s Member Cities and Customers,” saidJim Parks, Executive Director of NTMWD. “We
do not expect to resume pumping water from Lake Texoma
until the pipeline extension project is completed, which is estimated the
summer of 2013,” Parks added.
NTMWD
will continue to evaluate the lake levels, cities’ goals performance
and long-term weather forecasts on a monthly basis to determine if the
Stage 3 actions can be further relaxed before the hot summer months.
