Water Conservation During Drought Relies Heavily on Outdoor Water Restrictions

Did you know that the average residential household spends *30% of their water use* on outdoor needs? And in Texas, it can go as high as 40% if the conditions are right and restrictions are not in place. Since outdoor water usage is not always necessary, outdoor water restrictions are the best method for defending ourselves during drought.

Targeting outdoor water use with restrictions not only saves water but still keeps your lawn and garden healthy. "Texas Living Waters reports" that homeowners *over-water by as much as 2-3 times the amount* needed. With water restrictions in place, water is conserved, plants survive, and residents are encouraged (through stiff penalties) to comply. If your area faces water restrictions see our list below to be sure you are complying:

*Tomball*

*Spring*

*The Woodlands Joint Powers*

*Humble*

*Kingwood*

*Astasocita*

*Houston*

*Cypress*

*North Harris County Regional Water Authority *

Please Note: Water restrictions vary by city and municipality. Please check your local city or MUD for current conditions.
