A small city in Rockwall County is dealing with a big water problem. After running out of water last year, residents are now being asked to limit their usage to basic necessities.
After running out of water last year, residents are now being asked to limit their usage to basic necessities.The utility that manages the city's water issued a Stage 5 restriction. That means no watering outdoors, washing cars or filling up pools."New homes are coming up just every day. People are moving in every day," said resident Kristi Dickinson. "But we can’t support, there’s not enough water for the people who already live here.
"We are in Stage 5. We have a contractor limit of 2.1 million gallons per day from the city of Rockwall, and we were continuing to hit it," said David Naylor with RCH Water Supply. "You know, this many days of 100-plus-degree weather and no rain makes it challenging." It isn’t the first time this has happened. RCH gets its water from the city of Rockwall, and it’s a limited amount. Last year, the town ran out of water.
