“Our water customers have responded in a phenomenal way to our water conservation plan. Our water rate structure, irrigation ordinance, and education outreach provide our citizens with the tools they need to optimize both outdoor and indoor water use. This has helped to ensure we have water for many decades to come”, said Aubrey Spear, Director of Water Utilities.  

The City of Lubbock commends its customers for significant amount of water that has been conserved over the past decade. We ask that all residents and businesses continue to their water conservation efforts. Effective water conservation is a continuous year round effort. For more information about water restrictions, visit www.mylubbock.us/irrigation.
