Next Phase of Watering Restrictions to Begin

The City of Cleburne remains in Stage II drought conditions. In accordance with the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan, the City is preparing to transition into its seasonal adjustment of Stage II watering restrictions.

Previously, outside watering was limited to one day a week within designated hours. November marks the start of the fall/winter water conservation efforts of the plan, which prohibits all outside watering.

Please be advised that beginning Tuesday, Nov. 1, landscape watering with sprinklers or irrigation systems for residential and business properties will not be allowed at any time. The use of well water, treated wastewater (effluent) or other alternative water supply sources for irrigation is exempt from this restriction. Non-essential water use remains prohibited.

The City will adhere to the same watering restrictions and began the elimination/reduction of its water use on Friday, Oct. 14, prior to the residential and business water restrictions going into effect on Nov. 1.

No Tricks — Just Treats at the Museum

You can take the kids over to the Layland Museum of History to get some early Halloween treats.

The museum will host Boo Bash at the Museum on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by, enjoy the displays and get a piece of candy for your bucket. (We won’t judge if you only come for the candy, though.)

Crafty Activities for Kids and Teens

The Cleburne Public Library has neat activities planned that crafty youth will enjoy. Kids ages 7 and up can learn how to make felt pumpkins for free on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 11 a.m.

Here Comes the Dome!

The Cleburne Splash Station will be closed Oct. 24-28 as the dome over the competition pool is being installed. The dome allows for the pool to remain heated in the colder months.

Splash Station is open for lap swimming and swim lessons in the fall and winter. The facility will reopen for those purposes on Monday, Oct. 31 when the dome is up. Learn more about the facility here.

PET OF THE WEEK

Picture purr-fect, Milo! (Yes, that was corny but we had to!) Milo is just as sweet in person as he looks in his modelesque photos.

He's a 3-month-old domestic shorthair mix who's neutered and looking for a nice new home. Interested in making this kitty part of your family? Get pet adoption details here.
