Killeen Stage 1 Watering Rules and Conservation Tips

Killeen says voluntary conservation is advised at all times, and the city was in Stage 1 of its Water Conservation Plan as of the official notice shown during this update.

2️⃣

Even-numbered addresses

Stage 1 asks customers with street addresses ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 to voluntarily limit landscape irrigation to Sundays and Thursdays.

Read conservation stage
1️⃣

Odd-numbered addresses

Stage 1 asks customers with street addresses ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 to voluntarily limit landscape irrigation to Saturdays and Wednesdays.

Check watering days

Stage 1 asks customers to water only between midnight and 10:00am or 8:00pm to midnight on designated days.
