"Drought Warnings and Water Restrictions: How Texas Cities Are Coping"

The Brazos River Authority has issued a Stage 2 drought warning for several Central Texas cities, including Harker Heights, Lampasas, Georgetown, and Round Rock, due to declining water availability from Lake Stillhouse Hollow and Lake Georgetown. Customers are required to reduce water use by 10%. While there is still enough water in the reservoirs, residents are urged to be mindful and conserve water as demand remains high. Stricter measures may be implemented if water consumption does not decrease. Hand-watering is allowed at any stage of drought in the affected cities.
