Reminder: turn off your irrigation system
This week's rainfall has watered lawns but not the lake
|
|
|
|
Sandy beaches along the Lake Travis shoreline are not a good thing! Lake Travis is Cedar Park's sole drinking water source.
This photo, snapped after all this week's rain, shows Lake Travis is still just about half full. The good news is that the rain did give our lawns a much-needed soaking.
If you have an automatic irrigation system, turn it off - and save water and money!
