El Paso Has Water Restrictions — Outdoor Watering Is Regulated
El Paso Water limits when and how much you can water outdoors, and those limits get stricter when drought conditions worsen.
El Paso is a desert city. It depends on limited groundwater and a seasonal river. Because of that, outdoor water use is closely watched. El Paso Water has conservation rules. It can also declare water stages that put extra limits on outdoor watering. These rules can tighten or ease up based on drought conditions and aquifer levels.
Most new homes and yards here use drought-tolerant desert plants instead of grass lawns. Grass is water-hungry. During drought stages, grass watering can bring extra fees or stricter limits. Before you landscape or start a watering routine, check the El Paso Water website. Look for the current conservation stage and the rules that go with it.
