Current Drought Stage:  Stage 2

 PRESS RELEASE - JUNE 1, 2011
The Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District is advising all district residents of the EXTREME to EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT alert for Bexar County and the surrounding areas.
The District is hereby declaring STAGE 2: Severe Drought water restrictions, effective immediately, in compliance with our drought contingency plan.
According to the US Drought Monitor, the Bexar County region is currently experiencing EXTREME to EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT conditions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts drought conditions in the region will persist and/or intensify throughout the summer.
The District encourages all water users to implement the following water conservation measures:

1. Limit water use to essential domestic activities.
2. Avoid the use of sprinklers and sprinkler systems.
3. Water plants/lawns with a hand held hose only.
4. Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry.
5. Fix any water leaks immediately.
6. Buy a rain barrel or a cistern and collect the water from your gutters to water lawns and plants. 1,000 sq. ft. of roof will capture about 600 gallons of water from 1 inch of rain.
7. Sweep driveways and sidewalks with a broom or a leaf blower instead of hosing/spraying them off.
8. Avoid aesthetic water uses such as fountains and water gardens.
As the year progresses the District will continue to provide the citizens of Bexar County with updates on drought conditions, educational information, and more information on water conservation.
