City eyes reclaimed water use
City eyes reclaimed water use
Users of Boerne’s reclaimed water utility now may be facing the same drought restrictions on landscape irrigation as potable water users. Additionally, weekend watering may be eliminated for all Boerne utility users during any drought stage. The value of water across the Hill Country continues to rise as drought reigns heavy over the region with little signs of letting up, and the Boerne City Council is eyeing several measures to help mitigate water concerns in the short-term. The council likely will amend its ordinances to apply the same drought stage restrictions on landscape irrigation to reclaimed water as potable water, limiting the use to a day of the week based on address during drought restrictions. 07/15/2022 12:00 AM
