CONTINUE TO CONSERVE WATER!

We are requesting no outside watering at this time and to conserve as much as possible as the City of Gatesville makes repairs and reserves are replenished.

**As of 9:30AM Tuesday, July 26th, we are approximately 6 hours away from pumping water to the system. Please continue to conserve water as much as possible until we are able to start pumping and our reserves can  be replenished.**

Due to a break in a major transmission line at the Gatesville Regional Water Plant, a Stage 3 Drought Emergency is in effect immediately.  All customers who receive their water from Gatesville are impacted.  Please do your part to conserve water for the next 24 hours.
