MIRALOMAS MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT
PUBLIC NOTICES
STAGE 2 WATER RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE
Miralomas Municipal Utility District receives water from The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA).
The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) has a Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) in place for wholesale customers in order to safeguard the water supply for the communities it serves. Miralomas MUD must follow the Drought Contingency Plan in accordance with the GBRA.
The GBRA has implemented Stage 2 of the Drought Contingency Plan. Water restrictions are mandatory. Please follow the guidelines below.
1. No person may waste water, including allowing irrigation tailwater or water from vehicle washing at a residence to escape from that person’s property.
2. No person may use water to wash an impervious outdoor ground covering such as a parking lot, driveway, street, or sidewalk unless for health or safety reasons.
3. Landscape watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., and is further restricted such that properties with an odd-numbered address may landscape water only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and properties with an even-numbered address may landscape water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. However, landscape watering by means of a bucket, hand-held or soaker hose, or a properly installed drip irrigation system is permitted at any time. This subsection does not apply to reclaimed, recycled or reuse water.
4. Every person who owns or has possession of a swimming pool must cover the pool with an effective evaporation cover, screen or shield covering at least 25 percent of the surface of the pool when the pool is not in active use. Active use includes necessary maintenance that requires removal of the cover, screen or shields. Active use of public, commercial and apartment pools is whenever the pool is not officially closed.
5. No person may use water for an ornamental outdoor fountain or similar feature, unless the water is recycled and the only additional water used is to compensate for evaporative losses.
6. No person may wash a vehicle at other than a commercial vehicle wash facility except over a pervious surface area, during the above designated watering days and times with a hand-held hose with automatic shutoff nozzle or using a bucket.
The penalty for wasting water or any violation of Stage 2 restrictions as determined by the GBRA General Manager, or his designee, is $100 per data per violation.
