On Friday, October 6, 2023, North Harris County Regional Water Authority issued a notice of termination of Drought Contingency Plan Stage II but Stage I will remain in effect. Signage for this change has been posted throughout our neighborhoods.
At the September 14th Board of Directors meeting, the CCUD Board of Directors revised the CCUD district’s Drought Contingency Plan after receiving feedback from district residents and after reviewing drought contingency plans from other utility districts. The main change affects the timing of allowed outdoor irrigation for households. Also changes were made to the Stage III plan about outdoor irrigation of landscaped areas. See the full newly revised CCUD Drought Contingency Plan.
