Effective Monday, August 21, 2023, the City of Hutto is implementing Stage 3 Water Conservation efforts for all City of Hutto water customers. If you aren't sure who your water provider is, click here for a PDF map.  

Stage 3 Water Conservation efforts apply to all City of Hutto water customers, including residential, commercial, industrial and institutional, during a severe drought and are required and enforceable: 

• Industrial, commercial, institutional, and properties with no street address may water outdoors only on Wednesdays 
• Outdoor watering may only occur on one day per week, according to street address as follows: 
  1. Residential addresses ending in 0 or 1 may water outdoors only on Mondays 
  2. Residential addresses ending in 2 or 3 may water outdoors only on Tuesdays 
  3. Residential addresses ending in 4 or 5 may water outdoors only on Thursdays 
  4. Residential addresses ending in 6 or 7 may water outdoors only on Fridays 
  5. Residential addresses ending in 8 or 9 may water outdoors only on Saturdays 
• Outdoor watering can only occur before 10 am or after 8 pm on designated days 
• “Outdoor watering” is defined as using automatic irrigation systems and hose-end sprinklers  
• Washing vehicles is not allowed (except if exempt by commercial carwash) 
• Use of water for dust control is not allowed 

PLUS: 

• All other applicable Stage 2 restrictions 

HOWEVER:  

• Outdoor watering by hand-held hose, faucet-filled bucket or watering can, or a drip irrigation system is still allowed any day/time 
• Properties that use private well water are exempt from these restrictions, such as The Co-Op District, Hutto City Hall, many Hutto ISD facilities, and the Riverwalk soccer fields  

Should the City of Hutto need to move to Stage 4 Water Conservation efforts, all conservation efforts listed above will be required and enforceable, plus no outdoor watering will be allowed by automatic irrigation systems or hose-end sprinklers. Outdoor watering by hand-held hose, faucet-filled bucket or watering can, or drip irrigation system will only be allowed once per week on designated Stage 3 days, before 10 am or after 8 pm.

There are three water providers within the Hutto community: City of Hutto, Manville Water Supply Corp., and Jonah Special Utility District. Each provider handles their own operations, billing and communications/alerts.
