AUSTIN (KXAN) — Water restrictions vary from city to city, and each community has its own hierarchy of restrictions based upon drought contingency plans. That means Stage 2 restrictions in Austin may not be the same as those in Dripping Springs.
To help keep track, KXAN has created a map and database so you can easily find the restrictions in your city. We will keep these updated as cities change drought stages.
Since the start of 2024, Hutto and Pflugerville have tightened water restrictions, while Blanco, Lakeway, Liberty Hill and San Marcos have loosened restrictions.
The map below shows restrictions regarding automatic irrigation systems. Hover over or click on a city to see the information. For a full list of restrictions, please scroll down to the table below.
