Monday marks day one of water conservation for Copperas Cove because of construction in the city.

An 18-inch water transmission line will be out of service and residents must cut back on water use.

Restrictions for residents include:

  • Residents must use water sparingly for personal consumption and hygiene needs
  • Using water to wash any vehicle is prohibited
  • Irrigating landscaped areas is prohibited unless reclaimed water is used.
  • Restaurants are prohibited from serving water to patrons except upon request.
  • Washing down sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots or other hard surfaces is prohibited.

If residents don't comply, they could face fines of $100 or more. 

News Channel 25's Hunter Davis will have more on the restrictions and how they are affecting residents tonight at 10.
