City of Midland, TX

New Water Restrictions Starting April 1st

ATTENTION MIDLAND RESIDENTS... the Colorado River Municipal Water District (CRMWD) has reduced Midland's water deliveries to 13.9 million gallons a day due to extreme drought conditions.

All businesses and residents MUST comply with a mandatory outdoor watering program which is outlined in the Drought Contingency Plan.

Residents and businesses may only water outdoors one time per week for 2 hours . Outdoor watering is based on residents' physical addresses by dividing the city into 6 zones.

On your day of watering, you can water for two hours anytime from 6:00 p.m. until 12:00 midnight.
