Dear Horsepen Bayou Municipal Utility District Customer,

The City of Houston and the West Harris County Regional Water Authority (the “WHCRWA”) have both implemented Stage 1 of their respective Drought Contingency Plans (“DCP”). Given that Horsepen Bayou Municipal Utility District (the “District”) is located within the boundaries of the WHCRWA, the District is also required to implement Stage 1 of its DCP immediately. Stage 1 requirements include:

• Users are asked to voluntarily reduce water use.
• All outdoor water usage, including, but not limited to, lawn and garden watering, car washing, and window washing, shall be limited as follows:
  (1) Only District residents and other users of water within the District with even-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on Tuesdays and Saturdays and only District residents and other users of water within the District with odd-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on Wednesdays and Sundays. Retail Water Customers responsible for watering common areas such as greenbelts, esplanades or sports fields shall be limited to Mondays and Fridays. In the event no street address exists, only District residents and other users of water within the District living on the north and west side of a street may use water outdoors on even-numbered days and only District residents and other users of water within the District on the south and east side of a street may use water outdoors on odd-numbered days.

  (2) Outdoor water use shall be prohibited between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The District appreciates your water conservation efforts and will provide further information in the future once the DCP requirements are further updated.
