The Edwards Aquifer Authority has moved from Stage 3 water restrictions to Stage 2, allowing cities and other entities to curb their pumping by 30% rather than 35%. Recent rainfall improved water levels in the Edwards Aquifer. From January to March 2023, the Edwards Aquifer's water levels dipped to their lowest levels since the record drought of the 1950s.
