Please remember to conserve water!
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.
Stage 3 Drought Emergency Is In Effect Immediately- Continue to Conserve Water Tuesday
**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.
The City Splash Pad is closed. Outdoor watering and washing of vehicles is strictly prohibited and violators are subject to a fine.
Repair parts are en route from Houston, and we will resolve this as soon as possible.
