Despite Edwards Aquifer Authority cutbacks announced Monday, SAWS customers will remain under Stage 2 watering rules, utility officials said.
Stage 2 watering restrictions remain in place despite a further drop in the well used to monitor the Edwards Aquifer's levels.Despite the rain San Antonio received over the weekend, the Edwards Aquifer Authority declared Stage 4 water restrictions Monday, reducing by 40% the allowed amount of pumping out of the aquifer by permit holders such as the San Antonio Water System., the municipal water utility said Monday.
“Our community is experienced in managing the effects of drought because of strategies that we’ve initiated over the past 15 years,” Puente said. “… We can manage this again together if everyone complies to the watering rules.”. Watering with a sprinkler, irrigation system or soaker hose is allowed only between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on residents’ designated day, determined by the last number of a customer’s residential address.
The authority is a groundwater district spanning seven counties that regulates how much water can be pumped out of the aquifer in order to protect its springs and endangered species. Permit holders, such as SAWS, must reduce their pumping when the authority issues drought restrictions. SAWS used Monday’s announcement to remind customers that those who don’t comply with Stage 2 watering limits could be subject to a citation with fines of about $150 for first-time offenses.
