Water restrictions still in place, despite recent rains

South Texas is no stranger to drought or the water use restrictions that come with it, but that does not mean a blind eye can be turned to the current drought that has plagued Boerne and the surrounding area since 2022.

What follows is the current stage the three local entities have placed their communities in and the restrictions that are currently in force.

The city of Boerne has been under Stage 2 water restrictions since Aug. 7, 2023. Residential and commercial utility customers must limit water for landscape irrigation, rules that also apply to reclaimed water customers.
