Drought across Texas impacts the Brazos River Basin, the sole source of water for our service area - Galveston, Fort Bend and Brazoria counties. #MakeEveryDropCount

[Texas Water Development Board @twdb]

Drought is beginning to intensify in Central & West Texas. Three weeks ago, extreme drought was limited to several pockets in the Panhandle. Since then, extreme drought has contracted in the Panhandle but expanded into parts of Central & West TX. https://t.co/GlvDPtEk4k #txwater

Leaking toilets can be sneaky water thieves. Check toilets for silent leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank and waiting 10 minutes. If colored water appears in the bowl, you may have a leak.
