The North Texas Municipal Water District continues to ask for reduced outdoor water use even though the maintenance work is done at the Wylie Treatment Plant Complex. The NTMWD hit a system record on July 12 when the district pumped 628 million gallons of water in 24 hours exceeding the maximum of 603 million gallons pumped in 2011.

The North Texas Municipal Water District asked on July 16 that all municipalities that receive their water would immediately reduce water use, particularly outdoor water use, while maintenance was performed on a treatment plant to improve its treatment capacity.
The NTMWD provides water to most of Collin County, Rockwall County and Kaufman County, parts of North Dallas County, a significant portion of Hunt County and parts of Denton, Grayson, Rains, Hopkins and Van Zandt counties.
The City of Plano issued a notice to residents, requesting water conservation at least through Wednesday, July 20.
