BOERNE — Despite dramatic drops in the water levels in its monitoring wells, Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District officials declined Monday to ban all outdoor watering in Kendall County.
Since June 2008 the district has been under Stage 5 restrictions, which limit lawn watering to once a week by hand-held hoses and prohibit using groundwater for construction or to irrigate hay, parks and athletic fields.
“I feel like we're just now getting people on board with Stage 5,” District Manager Micah Voulgaris said Tuesday.
He said eight violators have been cited in July, up from three in June.
