Stage 2 Drought Restrictions Lifted: Stage 1 Now in Effect
October 2, 2025
Effective October 2, 2025 - ALL of Elm Ridge WCID will move into Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan (from Stage 2) following the guidance of our wholesale water provider, Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
Residents may now water their lawns twice per week on their scheduled days, between the hours of 6 PM and 10 AM. Please adhere to the watering schedule below:
Odd Addresses - Water on Wednesdays and Saturdays ONLY
Even Addresses - Water on Thursdays and Sundays ONLY
Commercial & HOA - Water on Tuesdays and Fridays ONLY

Residents should follow the https://watermyyard.org/#/LocationWaterMyYard.org recommendations as outdoor watering needs will continue to decrease until November 1 when outdoor watering is no longer necessary because of plant dormancy.
Please see the 25_0929_Drought_Memo_Stage 2 to Stage 1 for NE-1.pdfofficial memo from our wholesale provider, Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
We thank you for your cooperation!
