Dear Customers and Members,
The Bushland Water Supply Corporation would like to inform you that the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is now available. If you would like a copy, please contact Kassie Hamilton at 806-683-9173 or email [email protected].
Also, since we are heading into the warmer months, we are implementing Stage 1 (Mild Water Shortage Conditions). We are implementing this to help with drought conditions and to help with the pressure on the well with the excessive water use. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are also asking water systems to implement the beginning of all water systems drought contingency plans. If you would like to have a copy of the Bushland Water Supply Corporation drought contingency plan, please contact Kassie Hamilton at 806-683-9173 or [email protected] and she will be happy to provide you with one.
SECTION I: Declaration of Policy, Purpose, and Intent

Water use regulated or prohibited under this Drought Contingency Plan (the Plan) are considered to be non-essential and continuation of such use during times of water shortage or other emergency water supply conditions are deemed to constitute a waste of water which subjects the offender(s) to penalties as defined in Section X of this plan
