💧A Note from Cross Timbers Water:
They are currently experiencing high water demand. Their system has exceeded 5 million gallons per day, with the majority of the increased demand coming from irrigation and sprinkler use.
Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation remains in Stage 2 water restrictions, which requires customers to follow the even/odd address watering schedule.
The current watering restrictions and schedule can be found on the main page of our website at www.crosstimberswater.com.
It is important that residents understand the need to follow these restrictions. If demand continues to exceed 5 million gallons per day, they will have no choice but to move to Stage 3 of their Water Conservation Plan, which would limit outdoor watering to one day per week.
