Stage 2 Mandatory water rationing began Thursday, July 2, 2009 as required by League City Code of Ordinances Chapter 114, Article VI, Drought Contingency Plan. Thanks to cooperation from League City residents and businesses, as well as a few days of rain, our water usage has decreased. However, due to projected drought conditions and repairs on our Highway 3 Pump Station the City will continue the mandatory rationing.
League City Police Officers and League City Code Enforcement Officers will be issuing warnings and citations for water rationing violations. The fine is up to $500 per day of violations. For a complete look at the rules and regulations listed in the ordinance, log onto our website www.leaguecity.com.

The City of League City has reached MODERATE Water Shortage Conditions. City Ordinance NO 2002-26 and the League City Drought Contingency Plan requires that we enact a stage 2 response to this water shortage. Stage 2 response requires that citizens follow the listed MANDATORY rules regarding water conservation..\ This mandatory water rationing goes into effect Thursday, July 2, 2009. This plan should allow the City to achieve a ten percent reduction in daily water demand.

Here are a few tips for conserving water use outdoors:
· Keep grass 3-inches tall during the summer and don't cut more than one-third of its length at one time. Taller grass holds moisture better. Leave lawn clippings on the lawn instead of bagging them.
· One inch of water per week in the summer will keep most Texas grasses healthy. To determine how long you should run your sprinklers, place straight-edged cans at different distances away from the sprinkler and time how long it takes to fill an average of 1 inch of water in each can.
· Never water on windy days. Use drip irrigation for bedded plants, trees, and shrubs.
· Cover pools and spas. This can save the equivalent of your pool volume each year!
YOU BETTER NOT MISS YOUR WATER DAYS IF YOU WANT YOUR HOUSE TO SELL!!!
