The Brown County Water Improvement District issued the following information Tuesday morning:

As of 10:30 a.m. Tuesday November 8, 2022 Lake Brownwood is at 8 feet below spillway.

We are now in Mandatory water restrictions, Stage 2 of our Drought Contingency Plan.

Today Lake Brownwood is at 62.2 % capacity.

One month ago, Lake Brownwood was at 63.9% capacity.

1 year ago, today Lake Brownwood was at 95.7% capacity.

BCWID#1 is asking all customers to be mindful of wasting water.

Stage 2: Moderate Drought Condition begins when Lake Brownwood hit 8 ‘ below spillway.

BCWID#1 suggest to its customers not already doing so to restrict water from outdoor sprinkling, watering lawns, shrubs, driveways, and washing of automobiles to twice per week. The District will also suggest that customers employ “time of day” restrictions.

Please check with your retail water provider for the exact restrictions that you fall under.
