The City of Katy is asking residents to conserve water amid severe drought conditions. In a social media post, city officials say the drought conditions are reaching a "critical stage." Residents are asked to reduce irrigating.
The new recommendations under Stage 2 specify which three days of the week based on the last digit of a resident’s address:
Even number: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday
Odd number: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
Community/HOA: Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
Stage 3, mandatory water conservation, is two days per week based on address and limit all watering on Mondays. The penalty for violating this rule twice could result in a fine of up to $2,000 or possible disconnection of water service.
