Though the long dry spell of Galveston was broken by showers, it has not done enough to take off water conservation measures completely. Galveston moved to Stage 2, which allowed people to use automatic sprinkler systems during designated days and times and allows watering with handheld hoses, buckets and drip-irrigation systems any time of the day on the designated watering days.
The restrictions were imposed to ensure adequate water supply and pressure for fire fighting purposes. Drought conditions coupled with a waterline rupture led to restrictions being imposed. City wells were producing at 40 percent capacity to augment an inadequate supply of contracted surface water. Residents
Residents rallied for the cause and tried to save water by collecting condensation from the air conditioner and reusing shower water to water plants. The message of water conservation was spread through social media like Facebook to ensure maximum participation.
