Due to a water main break at the Weatherford Lake Treatment Facility, the City of Hudson Oaks is declaring a water emergency and immediately moving to Stage 3 water restrictions. Effective immediately, there will be:
1. No irrigation or landscape watering
2. No watering/washing of paved areas, buildings or windows by hose
3. No operation of ornamental fountains
4. No washing or rinsing of vehicles by hose
5. No use of water in such a manner as to allow runoff or other waste.

It is not yet clear how long this emergency situation will last, but it may be several days. Therefore, these restrictions will remain in place until further notice.

If the irrigation system at a home or business is set to run today, and the owner is not on site to turn it off, the water meter will be shut off by city staff to conserve water. However, staff will be available to re-establish water service, without charge, when the owners return.
