Stage 2 of Drought Contingency Issued

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, January 17 @ 6:50pm

On January 11, the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) initiated Stage 2 of the NTMWD Model Drought Contingency Plan.

Stage 2 was initiated in response to:

• Extreme drought conditions in the service area;
• Continuing decline of water levels of the NTMWD water supply reservoirs; and
• Long-range weather forecast that projects the drought to persist.

Actions that residents and business owners in Allen can voluntarily take:

• Reduce all water usage; and
• Wait to establish new landscaping until the drought situation has passed.

For more information, see the letter and information provided by NTMWD or see the information posted on the Community Services web page.
