Woodcreek under Stage 4 water restrictions

Woodcreek residents received a letter from Aqua Texas last week informing them to adopt Stage 4 conservation methods.

“Since August 2022, the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District has been in a declared drought based on District Rule 13 & 15. Due to persistent conditions, your area has a 7% chance of drought ending in the next 6 months, as there is still a rainfall deficit of 23 inches,” the letter stated.

“In addition to our primary goal of conservation, Aqua must also comply with the current regulatory requirements by continuing the implementation of measures outlined within our state-approved Drought Contingency Plan.”
