AFFECTED AREAS:

Buda, Kyle and other communities in the Barton Springs-Edwards Aquifer Conservation District remained at stage 3 since October 2024.
The level of the Lovelady Monitor Well in Austin was alarmingly close to Stage IV Exception Drought as the region has been in drought for 34 consecutive months for both the Edwards and Trinity aquifers, which were very low. Groundwater levels were decreasing and spring flows were limited at Barton Springs and elsewhere.

Buda entered Stage 3 water restrictions on Nov. 4 as several water supplies were stressed, warranting tighter water restrictions. Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer and Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority were both observing Stage 3 drought restrictions.
