Limited Water Usage Now In Effect For Lubbock - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock

Stage one of Lubbock's adopted water use management plan is now in effect. The plan limits yard watering to two times a week. That's about an inch and a half of water a week. You should only be watering during the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m.
