BLANCO, Texas — The City of Blanco moved to Stage 4 restrictions Friday amid ongoing water issues.
According to the City, the Canyon Lake Water Supply Company said that Canyon Lake reached its capacity Tuesday due to high water usage in the area.
This means that Blanco is having to rely on its reserve water tank. The City said Tuesday night that a reserve water tank would not last more than a 24-hour period. However, by Wednesday morning, the City said it has enough water to last another day and the "million-gallon tank is filling up slowly."
There were also two water leaks that were found. One of those leaks has been fixed.
Under Stage 5 restrictions, no one in this area was allowed to water their lawns or wash their cars. Water was limited to essential use for health and safety only.
Blanco officials said they might have to consider terminating water services to certain users and are asking everyone to actively conserve water. Officials are also actively searching for leaks.
