ROCKWALL, TX (April 8, 2014) The Rockwall City Council agreed to continue Stage 3 landscape watering restrictions once every two weeks as needed with sprinklers or irrigation systems through April as requested by the city’s water supplier, the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). Subsequent extensions will be considered on a month-to-month basis.
Council approved the extension at their April 7th meeting on the recommendation of City Manager Rick Crowley.
NTMWD remains in Stage 3 of its Water Conservation and Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Response Plan due to below average rainfall, declining water levels of their reservoirs and the temporary loss of Lake Texoma raw water supply due to the zebra mussel infestation.
Lake Lavon, the primary water supply, is approximately 11 feet below conservation pool level following April rains through April 7th. City and NTMWD officials ask that residents continue to conserve water until there is relief from the drought.
