Section I: Declaration of Policy, Purpose, and Intent
In order to provide for an adequate supply of potable water during
conditions of drought, high usage, contamination or other emergency
conditions, the WIEDENFELD WATER WORKS, INCORPORATED, herein equal to
WWW Inc, hereby adopts the following regulations and restrictions on the
delivery and use of potable water. The reuse of water or graywater is
unregulated, thus not limited by this plan and encouraged to meet
needs to sustain the landscape during limited water supplies.
Water uses regulated or prohibited under this Drought Contingency Plan
(the Plan) are considered to be non-essential and continuation of such
uses during times of water shortage or other emergency water supply
conditions are unauthorized and may subject the violator(s) to
increasing water use restrictions and possibly discontinuance of
service.
This plan must not conflict with TCEQ’s minimum water system capacity
requirements of 30 TAC Chapter 290.45 under normal conditions.
Additionally, these water restrictions don’t apply, if the utility fails
to take all immediate and necessary steps to replace or repair
malfunctioning equipment.

for WIEDENFELD WATER WORKS, INCORPORATED, requests a minor tariff
amendment with this Drought Contingency Plan.

The PRESIDENT or his designee shall monitor water supply and/or demand
conditions on a WEEKLY basis and shall determine when conditions warrant
initiation or termination of each stage of the Plan.
The triggering criteria described below are based on the combination of
indicators that affect availability; supply (drought, natural disaster,
chemical or physical contamination or act of terrorism) and demand. A
point system is utilized to indicate attainment of each supply
limitation. One, two, three or four points are accumulated upon
attaining or exceeding each condition indicated under that point. Points
are cumulative upon attaining more than one (1) trigger condition.
Utility Trigger Mechanisms 1 pt. 2 pts. 3 pts. 4
pts.
Aquifer Elev.-Zone A* <1410’ <1390’ <1370’ <1350
– Zone B** < 650’ < 640’ < 630’ <627.
Well’s daily operation (minutes) >700 >1000 >1200 >1400
Electrical supply outage, chemical contamination or other
non-repairable disruption of the water supply exceeding a 24 hour period
equals 8 points (Mandatory Water Rationing).
* Kerr County: HGCD monitor well, Donna Dr.-Kerrville South
** Medina County: EAA monitor well, # J-17.
Supply Limitation (Drought) Stages are attained by accumulating the
following points:
STAGE I Customer Awareness 1 pt.
