League City considering limiting when residents can use water outdoors

The League City City Council on Aug. 13 voted unanimously to update its water-conservation plan and drought-contingency plan. The water-conservation plan outlines achievable goals related to how many gallons of water residents use per day; how much water is lost to leaking, flushing and other waste; and other water use-related data. The drought contingency plan sets up actions to further conserve water should League City experience a drought that would use up a majority of its water. When compared to peer cities, League City tends to fall in the middle when it comes to gallons used and water-loss percentages.
