We are soaking up the good news! Lake Pflugerville is holding steady at 633 feet in elevation, with yesterday’s reading at 633.55 feet!🚰

With lake levels trending upward, we are celebrating this progress by implementing modified Stage 1 water conservation measures beginning Friday, May 1 for all City of Pflugerville water customers. In addition, the City will open pools to the public for lap swim, open swim, swim lessons and swim practices on Friday, May 1. Pool tournaments are not allowed at this time.

Modified Stage 1 includes:

🔹Handheld watering is allowed on designated watering days before 10 am or after 7 pm. Handheld watering includes using a hose with a shutoff nozzle, small bucket or watering can.

🔹Washing vehicles at home is allowed on designated watering days before 10 am or after 7 pm with a bucket or handheld hose with a shutoff nozzle.

🔹You may maintain an existing pool to keep it safe and usable, but you may not fill or refill a drained pool or put a new pool into service unless you use a non-City water source approved in writing by the City.

🔹Foundation watering is allowed.

🔹Automatic irrigation is not allowed. Manual irrigation (using a mobile area sprinkler) is not allowed.

🔹Outdoor surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, walls or other exterior areas may not be washed.

🔹Splashpads are not allowed.

🔹Charity car washes are not allowed unless a City-issued permit is obtained.

🔹Decorative fountains and ponds may only operate if they recirculate water or are needed to support aquatic life.

These restrictions help us remain afloat during a two‑week scheduled shutdown after Memorial Day to complete repairs on the existing raw waterline, finalize construction of the secondary raw waterline and conduct essential pump maintenance. The daily maximum water-use goal under these restrictions is 8 million gallons per day. These measures will help us keep the lake at a stable level and ensure Pflugerville remains prepared during the shutdown period.
