At Monday’s City Council work session, Public Services staff presented proposed updates to the City’s Water Conservation Plan and Water Resource Emergency Management Plan, last updated in 2019. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires the City to update its water plans every five years.
Much of the proposed changes to the Water Conservation Plan are minor and similar to plans of many member cities within the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) (for example, the new Bois d’Arc Lake needs to be added as a water source). Three new restrictions were proposed for the updated Water Resource Emergency Plan, based on NTMWD recommendations, which would go into effect during emergency situations such as extreme drought.

The public is invited to provide comments on the plans during the Visitor Comment section at the Monday, April 8 City Council Meeting.
