Nothing beats the Texas heat like water, but the City of Georgetown has asked its residents to cut back.
"It's more of a capacity concern at this point," said Chelsea Solomon, the water utilities director for Georgetown."When we hit 85 percent for three consecutive days, and that takes us down to one day a week watering schedule," said Solomon."When people are not watering according to the schedule, then that could force us to go into stage 3, which we don't want to do," said Solomon.
The city said a majority of its water usage on Monday was thanks to people not watering on their given day. "Everyone needs to do something about conserving water," said John Kabanek, a Georgetown resident."All the plants that I have are set up be really for nature," said Kabanek. "Rocks, certain types of plants, cactuses, things like that that were drought tolerant.
The city said it has an integrated water resource plan and several new treatment plants it hopes will take a load off its customers. "We have the three construction projects that are ongoing and will double our system capacity," said Solomon. "The current concerns that we're having are going to be short-lived."
Georgetown expects the first two plants to be done in the next few months and the final plant in 2025.that I have read and agree
