PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
TRWD to lift Stage 1 drought restrictions May 4
FORT WORTH, TX (May 3, 2012) - The Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD) has notified its wholesale customers that it will
terminate Stage 1 watering restrictions effective May 4.
The twice-per-week restrictions and other water saving
measures were put in place last August when TRWD's
reservoirs reached 75 percent capacity. After heavy rains
earlier this spring, the water district's reservoirs have climbed
to over 95 percent capacity. It is estimated the conservation
measures reduced demands by eight percent during a period of
peak use, saving an estimated 35 to 45 million gallons per
day.
Although drought conditions have subsided, TRWD encourages
the public to continue practicing voluntary conservation
measures in order to reduce peak demands in the summer and
