ROUND ROCK, Texas — Round Rock water customers can return to normal water usage as of Tuesday night.
On Friday, the City asked 11,000 customers living west of Interstate 35 to stop all outdoor watering while utility crews fixed a water main break on the south side of RM 1431. On Tuesday night, the City said repairs were on track.
On Thursday, crews started isolating the problem in order to get repairs underway.
While they worked to fix the break, City officials asked those who live west of I-35 to conserve water until Tuesday. These restrictions included the following Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs): Fern Bluff, Vista Oaks, Walsh Ranch and the Tonkawa Springs neighborhood.
City officials said the best way for people to help reduce their average usage of 10 to 11 million gallons a day is to stop outdoor watering or switch to hand watering.
The City is under Stage 1 of its drought restrictions plan. This means that residents are allowed two days of outdoor watering per week. Residents will be allowed to water between midnight to 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight only.
- Addresses ending in 4 or 8 can water on Sunday and/or Thursday
- Addresses ending in 0 or 3 can water on Monday and/or Thursday
- Addresses ending in 2, 6 or 7 can water on Tuesday and/or Friday
- Addresses ending in 1, 5 or 9 can water on Wednesday and/or Saturday
