Water Conservation
"We have plenty of water, why do we need to save it?"
Yes, the City of Cedar Park has an ample supply of water. However, water does not come in endless quantities. As water users, it is our responsibility to use water wisely to ensure that we will have plenty of water for the future. Cedar Park is committed to providing the resources to help everyone as we all strive to become more water wise. As a first step, the City of Cedar Park has developed comprehensive Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plans. These two plans enable the City to act if necessary during drought or emergency conditions. Currently the City is under a voluntary twice a week watering schedule which allows outdoor watering,except between the hours of 10:00am & 7:00pm. The watering schedule will become mandatory, if the daily water consumption reaches 90% of the City's capacity for three consecutive days. The City of Cedar Park wants to inform and educate it's customers about water conservation and provide them with the means and hardware to have water wise homes and landscapes. Following are the conservation services the City offers to its customers.
