Water Conservation

Maxwell WSC encourages its members to use water wisely. For your convenience here are some links for helpful water conservation tips.

In the summers when water is scarce, Maxwell Water Supply Corporation follows "Water Wise," a five-day water conservation program used by many water utilities in Texas. Maxwell Water Supply Corporation encourages all members to conserve water voluntarily by restricting certain uses (like lawn-watering or washing cars) to every fifth day.       

Conservation helps everyone save by eliminating the need to build new water storage tanks just for those peaks-use times. Also, conservation habits help everyone save money in times of drought.

To report leaks, low water pressure, or problems with water service please call 512-357-6253.
