The brief cells are expanded and qualified in the sections below. Seguin’s Stage 3 schedule could not be verified from the available plan extract.
Schertz: follow the address-digit schedule now
Schertz prohibits sprinkler systems during its active Stage 3 restrictions. Handheld watering and drip irrigation are allowed before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m. on one designated weekday: Monday for addresses ending in 0 or 1, Tuesday for 2 or 3, Wednesday for 4 or 5, Thursday for 6 or 7, and Friday for 8 or 9. The city also prohibits filling or topping off pools and hot tubs, car washing, power washing, washing hard surfaces and water use for dust control. Its notice attributes the restrictions to a water shortage after a major transmission line break affected a Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation treatment plant.
Green Valley and East Central: compare the rule, then verify the stage
Green Valley SUD’s Stage 3 page permits irrigation systems, sprinklers and soaker hoses once every other week on a designated day, before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m.; it bars weekend sprinkler watering. Hand watering with a handheld hose, drip irrigation, bucket or watering can is allowed Monday, Wednesday and Friday during those hours. The page prohibits washing paved surfaces and permits residential car washing once a week on Saturday or Sunday without water waste. Its Stage 3 page explains the rules but does not, by itself, give a dated confirmation that Stage 3 is active today.
East Central SUD’s Stage 3 flyer allows irrigation systems, automatic sprinklers or soaker hoses from midnight to 10 a.m. or 8 p.m. to midnight on designated days. Even-numbered final address digits are assigned Thursday or Sunday; odd digits Wednesday or Saturday. A handheld hose is limited to the designated day. The flyer separately allows up to two hours once a week for foundation watering within two feet and tree watering, using specified methods without runoff. It limits pool filling to designated days and hours and prohibits washing hard surfaces and other nonessential uses. The flyer is a rule sheet, so customers should verify the current stage with East Central SUD.
Seguin: check the current notice and the full plan
Seguin’s 2024 drought plan says outdoor watering is prohibited year-round from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., except that a handheld hose, handheld watering device or drip irrigation system may be used at any time under that year-round provision. The available extract does not establish the plan’s Stage 3 schedule or whether that stage is active. Seguin customers should consult the full plan and ask the city’s Water Department which current restrictions govern before relying on the year-round exception.
For the next check, use your provider’s official page or contact it directly: Schertz lists 311 or 210-619-1000 on its active notice; Green Valley SUD lists 830-914-2330 on its Stage 3 page; and Seguin lists 830-379-3212 on its Water Department page. Ask which stage applies to your service address today and whether a newer notice changes the posted rule.
