LCRA Utility Water Use Restrictions

All LCRA utilities are in enhanced Stage two restrictions, except the Spicewood Beach Regional Water System. Enhanced Stage two allows landscape watering no more than once a week. Enhanced Stage two occurs when the combined storage of lakes Travis and Buchanan falls to 750,000 acre-feet or less. Spicewood Beach Regional Water System is in Stage 4 restrictions because of falling levels in the wells serving the system. Stage 4 prohibits all outdoor watering.
