The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) has a Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) in place for wholesale customers of Canyon Reservoir in order to safeguard the water supply for the communities it serves. With Canyon Reservoir elevation above 890′ or 64% of water storage capacity, GBRA is at Stage 1 mild water shortage conditions. This includes a voluntary 5 percent reduction in comparison to the average monthly usage of contracted water for that time period of the calendar year.
Per the DCP, drought stages are officially rescinded when Canyon Reservoir exceeds a previous stages’ trigger elevation for a period of 30 days.
