City of Kerrville working to lift water restrictions

Michael Hornes, Assistant City Manager of Kerrville, confirmed during Tuesday’s Kerrville City Council meeting that one of the city’s priorities has been cleanup at the water treatment plant.

The plant’s intake was flooded with debris on July 4.  Since then, the city has been using well water while dredging happens near the plant.  On Tuesday night, Hornes said he hopes to exit Stage 4 water conservation conditions and be back up and running at the water plant by the end of the week.

During Stage 4, automatic and hose-end sprinklers and soaker hoses are prohibited at all times of day.

On July 28, Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice declared a water supply emergency.  Hornes said staff is working on ensuring no further issues occurred at the plant.
