Jacinto City adopts updated Drought Contingency Plan prepared by LJA Engineering
Summary
Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-9R to adopt a Drought Contingency Plan prepared by LJA Engineering, fulfilling a state requirement that public water suppliers maintain a plan and setting staged restrictions for shortages.
The Jacinto City Council voted 5-0 on Nov. 5 to adopt a Drought Contingency Plan prepared by LJA Engineering and authorized staff to implement and enforce the plan. City Manager Lon D. Squyres told the council the plan is required by the State of Texas every five years.
The adopted plan (filed with the minutes) sets definitions, triggers and six drought-response stages ranging from voluntary conservation to emergency water allocation; it lists water-allocation blocks for single-family households and surcharge levels for overages. The resolution cites state law as the authority and directs the Director of Public Works to implement the plan. The full plan text is included in the meeting record for public review.
