Update on 3/3/26 outage alert notice. Our WSC’s outage is over and repairs have been completed. PGMS advises that today’s WSC system repairs have been completed successfully and the system should be fully pressurized and water service restored to all customers at the present time or within a few minutes.
PGMS personnel explained further that a repair scheduled for today which was not anticipated to require a system outage became an emergency repair, one which did require a system-wide water outage, after a valve being operated to make the repairs broke, and needed to be immediately replaced. Replacing the broken valve, in turn, required the system-wide outage that occurred this morning.
The entire SREWSC system should now be fully pressurized. As some of you may have noticed previously, some parts of the system ordinarily have slightly higher water pressures than other parts, and some parts of the system take longer to repressurize than others when pressure is being restored after a repair.
We apologize for the failure to make an announcement prior to this morning’s water system outage. The board simply had no prior notice of the chances for an outage because no need for an outage was anticipated by PGMS’s repair crew and only became necessary when a system valve broke during a modest equipment upgrade being made to our water system.
Thank you for your patience.

Belated outage notice ALERT. The board has learned only belatedly that there would be a system-wide water outage today for a PGMS crew to install a mini-hydrant on Skyline Ridge Lookout. The board learned in the last little while, just like our members have learned, that there would be an outage by observing the water pressure going down.
We are told by PGMS that the outage should last only another hour or so -- hopefully to end by around 12 noon today -- if their anticipated mini-hydrant installation occurs as planned and is not problematic.
We apologize for the failure to make an announcement prior to the outage and have emphasized to our contracted water system operator’s personnel that intentional system outages done not for emergency leak repairs but for system maintenance or planned improvements need to be announced in advance so we can inform customers of the planned outage and the reasons for it.
Thank you for your patience.

Effective immediately, Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (HTGCD) has requested that we curtail water usage by 40%. Due to a prolonged lack of rainfall, we are now in Stage 4- "Emergency" Drought Stage Water Curtailment, as declared by the SREWSC Board in compliance with HTGCD’s request and the WSC’s Drought Contingency Plan. Please refer to the following water conservation measures mentioned in the SREWSC’s Drought Contingency Plan, which is part of its Tariff, and continue to help us conserve water for essential uses only.

• While waiting for hot water to reach faucet, catch cold water in a container to be reused.
• Never use the toilet to dispose of trash.
• Only run dishwasher with full load.
• Store drinking water in a container in the refrigerator.
• Reduce use of garbage disposal.
• Wash only full loads of laundry.
• Turn off master water shutoff when out of town or on vacation.
• Draw less water for bath or reduce shower time.
• Do not over water houseplants.
Outdoor Conservation Measures
Irrigation and Lawn Care
• Irrigation of landscaped areas is absolutely prohibited.
