Water Conservation Measures Underway
The City of San Benito has, effective
immediately, joined with other South Texas communities in implementing
mandatory water conservation measures as the result of current drought
conditions, as requested by the International Boundary and Water
Commission (IBWC).
Stage 2 of the City’s Water Conservation Ordinance is being followed in this process.
Stage 2 stipulates that no watering of grass, plants,
gardens and similar vegetation is allowed between the hours of 10 a.m.
and 6 p.m. Outside of those hours, handheld hoses, buckets, drip
irrigation and sprinkler systems are allowed.
Commercial nurseries, sod farms and similar establishments may water between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Washing personal vehicles is allowed using a hose with a
shut-off nozzle, or a bucket not to exceed five gallons, between the
hours of 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
