Round Rock City Asks Customers To Curtail Water Use So Utility Can Use Less Electricity

Press release from City of Round Rock:

February 15, 2021

The City of Round Rock is asking customers to curtail non-essential water usage so our utility can conserve electricity by producing less water. The City’s water treatment plant and distribution system are high users of electricity.

Please only use water for drinking, cooking and dripping faucets.

Your efforts to conserve water will help the City do its part to help ERCOT restore power across the state during this time of unprecedented sub-freezing weather.

Oncor issued a statement Tuesday morning about outages in its service area, which includes Round Rock.
