NHCRWA Implements Drought Contingency Plan Stage 1

The City of Houston (COH), the primary source of water for the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA), entered stage one of the COH Drought Contingency Plan on June 21, 2022, due to the observed drop in annual rainfall amounts and higher-than-normal daily temperatures.

The NHCRWA is implementing Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan immediately.

The NHCRWA request that customers of Harris County WCID 132 and all others receiving water from the NHCRWA implement the following voluntary restrictions:

  • Limit irrigation to no more than two days per week, between 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. following the schedules below:
    • Sundays and Thursdays for single family residential customers with even-numbered street addresses.
    • Saturdays and Wednesdays for single family residential customers with odd-numbered street addresses.
    • Tuesdays and Fridays for all other customers.
    • No watering on Mondays.

Compliance to the above recommendations is voluntary under Stage 1 of the Drought Contingency Plan.
