Stage 2 is implemented when the combined percentage of the combined lake system of Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir falls below 30%. The following are restrictions that Corporation customers should adhere to:

• Irrigation systems is allowed ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK on residential trash pickup day.
• No irrigation or sprinklers are allowed between 10:00am to 6:00pm
• Water with 5-gallon bucket or small, drip irrigation, or with a hand-held hose with a shut-off nozzle is allowed on any day at any time
• Customers should practice efficient use of water by:
