(New Braunfels, TX \u2013 August 27, 2021) \u2013 This summer\u2019s early rains allowed New Braunfels and the surrounding community to enjoy Non-Drought water status since May 22, 2021.However, the high temperatures, lack of significant rains, and increased demand has caused water levels Edwards Aquifer
to drop significantly over the past few weeks. Today, the 10-day average of the J-17 well is 661-feet, only
one- foot above the trigger for Stage 1 watering restrictions. Without significant rainfall, we anticipate Stage 1 watering restrictions could go into effect by early next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1 water restrictions schedule allows for the use of a sprinkler or irrigation system is as follows:

Addresses ending 0 and 1: Monday
Addresses ending 2 and 3: Tuesday
Addresses ending 4 and 5: Wednesday
Addresses ending 6 and 7: Thursday
Addresses ending 8 and 9: Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of a hand-held hose, bucket, soaker hose, or drip irrigation system is allowed on any day at any time during Stage 1. The use of a sprinkler or irrigation system is not permitted on the weekends during Stage 1, 2, or 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
