DENTON, TX, Aug. 16, 2024 - Today, the City of Denton is pleased to announce that, due to the collective efforts of our residents and businesses, we have successfully avoided entering Stage 2 of drought measures. This positive outcome results from not exceeding the high demand threshold of 38 million gallons of water for a third consecutive day.
With the challenging water conditions this season, the City strongly encourages the community to continue responsible water conservation practices as much as possible during this period. Key conservation measures include adhering to the required lawn irrigation schedule, fixing leaks promptly, and adopting water-efficient practices.
Our current situation arises from unexpected but necessary repairs on two damaged filters at our Lake Lewisville treatment facility, which have temporarily reduced our treatment capacity. Anticipated repairs are scheduled to begin next week and will consist of the following:
Timeline for Filter Repairs:
As a reminder, the City of Denton has implemented a twice-a-week irrigation watering schedule. Following the mandatory schedule and ensuring that your automatic irrigation timers and sprinkler alignments are correctly set are among the most effective ways to conserve water. Your conservation efforts can help prevent further water use restrictions.
