Wylie, Texas
1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
The measures included in this Water Resource and Emergency Management Plan (WREMP) are intended
to provide short-term water savings during drought or emergency conditions. Water savings associated
with ongoing, Tong -term strategies are discussed in the document entitled Water Conservation Plan, City
of Wylie.
The purpose of this WREMP is as follows:
• To conserve the available water supply in times of drought, water supply shortage, and
emergency.
• To maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection.
• To protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety.
• To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages.
• To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions.
The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) supplies treated potable water to its Member Cities
and Customers. . This WREMP calls for the City of Wylie to adopt Water Resource Management Stages
initiated by NTMWD during a drought or water supply emergency.
In the absence of drought response measures, water demands tend to increase during a drought due to
increased outdoor irrigation. The severity of a drought depends on the degree of depletion of supplies
and on the relationship of demand to available supplies. NTMWD considers a drought to end when all of
NTMWD's supply reservoirs refill to conservation storage pool levels.
