SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio will enter Stage 1 watering rules after a drop in the Edwards Aquifer levels, according to San Antonio Water Systems.
This comes after San Antonio has been experiencing a stretch of mostly dry weather recently.
The agency said Wednesday the 10-day average of San Antonio's monitoring well has dropped below 660 feet, requiring a return to Stage 1 watering rules.
Stage 1 rules begin on Thursday, March 10, and will limit outdoor watering with a sprinkler or irrigation system. It will only be allowed before 11 a.m. and after 7 p.m., one day per week, based on the last number of your address:
0 or 1 – Monday
2 or 3 – Tuesday
4 or 5 – Wednesday
6 or 7 – Thursday
8 or 9 – Friday
The agency said watering with a handheld hose is still allowed any day, any time.
