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.
