DROUGHT UPDATE

MANDATORY ONCE A WEEK WATERING NOW IN EFFECT

 


Once-a-Week Outdoor Watering Schedule:

Address ends in:                   Your watering day is:
0 or 1                                      Monday
2 or 3                                      Tuesday
4 or 5                                      Wednesday
6 or 7                                      Thursday
8 or 9                                       Friday

 

Watering with a hose end sprinkler or automatic irrigation system is permitted on the scheduled day between the hours of Midnight to 10 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to midnight. Hand watering is permitted any day between the hours of midnight and 10 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to midnight but only with a hand-held positive shutoff nozzle or bucket.    

 

City staff will be available to help with programming of your irrigation system timer if needed. If you would like assistance with changing the programming on your irrigation system timer please call city hall at 830-693-2951.  

 

We also suggest checking the sprinkler heads in your irrigation system to make sure that they are adjusted and working properly so that they are not wasting water by spraying onto the street, sidewalks or driveway.

 

You may have received a phone call from the City of Marble Falls regarding your scheduled watering day. Please do not follow this schedule. Meadowlakes is not using the same watering schedule as Marble Falls. These calls are from an automated system. We are trying to determine why they are calling Meadowlakes and hope to have the problem resolved shortly.

 

There will be more information about the drought and our drought contingency plan available on our website: www.meadowlakestexas.org.  We will also have links posted there for additional information about the drought from the LCRA.

                                               

 

The following enforcement provisions shall apply to all City of Meadowlakes retail water customers:


First Violation: Notice issued

Second Violation: Fine of up to $250

Third Violation: Fine of up to $500 

 

 

WATER USAGE FAQ'S

Irrigation of Landscaped Areas:

Outdoor watering hours will be limited to between midnight and 10 a.m. and between 7 p.m. and midnight on designated days. This prohibition does not apply to irrigation of landscaped areas if it is by means of:
  1. a hand-held hose; or
  2. a faucet-filled bucket or watering can of five gallons or less.
  3. soaker hose or drip irrigation.   

Vehicle Washing:

Use of water to wash any motor vehicle is prohibited except on designated watering days between the hours of midnight and 10 a.m. and between 7 p.m. and midnight.

 

Water Waste:

The following non-essential uses of water are prohibited at all times during periods in which restrictions have gone into effect: 
  1. Washing sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, street, tennis courts, and other impervious surfaces is prohibited except for immediate health and safety; 
  2. Washing buildings, houses or structures with a pressure washer or garden hose is prohibited for aesthetic purposes but allowable for surface preparation of maintenance work to be performed.  
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
 
The Meadowlakes POA has contracted with PAVECO to repair some of the streets in Meadowlakes. Road repairs are expected to begin this week (weather permitting). We appreciate your patience during this time, and the end result will be smoother streets for everyone. The tentative list of streets set for repair this year are:

*Columbine from Meadowlakes Drive to Turkey Run
*Stewart from Meadowlakes Drive to Chaparral
*Olympia Fields from cart crossing to Columbine
*Firestone from Preston Trail to Firestone Place
*St. Andrews cul-de-sac to Turkey Run
*Marion from Preston Trail to Firestone

This is not a definitive list, and is subject to change. Please direct all questions to your POA board.

*Please see attached letter from PAVECO in reference to your cooperation while the road construction is being conducted.
