Residents in Blanco were in a water emergency after a water main break on Friday, July 14. All unnecessary water use was to cease under the Stage 6 water restrictions. By the morning of July 15, all of the city water tanks were full, but the emergency restrictions were to remain in effect through at least noon on July 17.
Prior to the break, the mayor described the water supply as being vulnerable in mid-June as the city’s water plant was not operating, and the local river was too low for them to draw water from it.
