Due to drier than normal conditions the Brazos River Authority (BRA) is announcing the implementation of Stage 1 – Drought Watch Conditions for Lakes Possum Kingdom, Whitney, Aquilla, Proctor, Belton, Limestone, Somerville, Stillhouse Hollow, and Georgetown. This is designed to raise awareness of the developing drought situation.
Stage 1 – is a water conservation by avoiding non-essential water uses to achieve a target reduction of 5% of the city’s total water demand. Irrigation of landscaped areas with hose-end sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems should be limited to any two days of the week between the hours of 8pm and 9am. Outdoor watering is discouraged between the hours of 9am and 8pm – except with hand-held hoses.
The City of Harker Heights has been in Stage 1 since the repair of WCID’s water main replacement in May of 2025. The goal of the release is bringing additional awareness to our community.
Should you have questions, please call the City of Harker Heights Public Works Department at 254-953-5649.
