Lake Travis Schools Hit by Water Crisis | Austin News

Lake Travis ISD schools hit with boil water notices and low pressure, forcing bottled water distribution and early dismissals — but this isn’t an isolated incident.

The West Travis County Public Utility Commission blames outdoor watering violations for 84% of recent high usage, especially outside allowed hours, and is issuing fines to repeat offenders. Upgrades are in the works, but immediate relief hinges on curbing illegal irrigation — and pending water test results may be delayed if the trend continues.
