Rosenberg Initiates Stage 1 of Drought Contingency Plan

The city of Rosenberg will enter Stage 1 Voluntary Water Conservation of the City’s Drought Contingency Plan, effective Thursday, July 27, 2023. The Drought Contingency Plan calls for water conservation measures when there is an observed drop in annual rainfall amounts, higher-than-normal daily temperatures and an increase in water demand.

Under Stage 1 of the plan, citizens are asked to voluntarily reduce the amount of water they are consuming for irrigation purposes:

Residents with a street address ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) are asked to limit watering to Sundays and Thursdays between the hours of midnight to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to midnight.

Residents with a street address ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are asked to limit watering to Saturdays and Wednesdays between the hours of midnight to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to midnight.

When irrigating your lawn, check sprinkler heads to make sure water is not spraying into the street or directly into a storm drain and/or gutters.
