Due to worsening drought conditions, on August 28, 2023, the City of Missouri City implemented mandatory water conservation in some areas of the City INCLUDING FB48 which is within the City’s Mustang Bayou Service Area. These measures were put into effect because water systems are not able to keep up with high demand especially during the “Peak Demand” times in the early morning hours when most irrigation occurs and as residents take showers, wash laundry, and prepare meals. Irrigation usage is the largest user of water. The Ground Storage Tanks (GSTs) at the water plants need to maintain water sufficient to fight fires and to provide potable drinking water to customers.
