Drought Restrictions

BPUB's Drought Contingency plan uses watering rules and restrictions to manage the region’s water resources. The rules & restrictions limit water use based on specific levels of the Amistad/Falcon Resiviors or when other water emergencies strain the system.

Stage 1 is automatically initiated every year on May 1, or when the levels of the Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs reach 50%.

Stage 2 is activated when the levels of the Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs reach 25%.

Stage 3 is activated when the levels of the Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs reach 15%.

Stage 4 is activated when the levels of the Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs reach 10%.
