The new rules also mean residents will see increasing administrative fees applied to their monthly billing cycle when violating water conservation rules. Before the new regulations, Keller residents typically received a citation below $500 for each day of violation.<\/p>\n
Hannah Smith, the Environmental Services Specialist at the city\u2019s Public Works Department, provided a presentation about the changes at the meeting Jan. 6. She said regulations for water conservation will otherwise stay the same.<\/p>\n

The city of Keller is required to approve the new enforcement rule as one of 33 wholesale water customers with the city of Fort Worth, Smith said.<\/p>\n
Zooming in<\/p>\n
The city of Fort Worth modified its code to a progressive enforcement process Nov. 11, Smith said. The new process uses Advanced Metering Infrastructure<\/a>, or AMI, data to assess violations and assess administrative fees.<\/p>\n \u201cThe short-term conservation goal which Fort Worth has tasked us with is a focused effort on getting commercial demand off of peak residential watering days to alleviate strain on the system,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n Currently, commercial properties are allowed to water on Tuesdays and Fridays, Smith said. Residency addresses ending in even numbers water on Wednesdays and Saturdays while those ending in odd numbers water on Thursdays and Sundays. Other details about city water restrictions can be found on the city website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Smith said the region is expecting a significant demand increase for water with the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> this summer. Irrigation-only meters will be primarily targeted, she said.<\/p>\n
