Holliday Special Session- Moving to Stage 4 - Newschannel 6 Now | Wichita Falls, TX

         The town of Holliday officially moved into stage 4, Drought Disaster, water restrictions.  However, not one single Holliday resident was present for tonight's special session. Moving into Stage 4 was not the only action that the city took at tonight's special session; they also made amendments to Chapter 13, Article 13.700 Emergency Water Rationing. The ordinance had previously stated that Holliday would not allow bulk water sales; the council took action to change that ordinance allowing bulk residential usage of up to 7,000 gallons of water. Those who do use over 7,000 gallons of water must sign a form that they are using their water for residential use only. There will also be a $7.00 surcharge to those who use more than 13,000 gallons. Residents will be allowed to use soakers on their foundation from 8 p.m. until midnight. These changes won't go into effect until the next bill period in December; residents will notice the change to their bills in January.
