The CIty is currently under water restrictions due to implementation of Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan. Drought Contingency plans are required to be put into effect for multiple reasons, including "water production or distribution system limitations" (TAC 30, 288.20). Van is currently limited due to the loss of two of the three water wells supplying the City. See the posting of the Plan Implementation and schedule of watering times on this document. The current Stage of the plan limits non essential residential and recreationa uses.
