Despite the rain we had this past winter, the Edwards Aquifer is falling very fast this spring forcing San Antonio into Stage 2 water restrictions already.
"Dry spring weather combined with increased water demands across the Edwards region, especially agricultural use, have caused the Edwards Aquifer level to drop quickly," said Robert R. Puente, SAWS President/CEO. "The Edwards Aquifer is hitting the Stage Two level a month earlier than it did last year during the driest year on record."
Unfortunately, stage 3 water restrictions are a real possibility this summer which only allows landscape watering once every other week. It is time to get ready for another rough summer with drought conditions and water restrictions all summer long. For more details on the water restrictions, visit http://www.saws.org/.
