NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE QUORUM OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AT A PUBLIC MEETING FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON PROPOSED
REVISIONS OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE'S
DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN
Notice is hereby given of a possible quorum of the La Porte City Council at a public
meeting for public input on proposed revisions of the City of La Porte's Drought
Contingency Plan, to be held on September 19, 2024, from 10-11 a.m., at the La
Porte City Hall in the City Council meeting chamber, 604 West Fairmont Parkway,
La Porte, Texas.
Texas Administrative Code Chapter 288.20 Requires every public water system with more than
3,300 connections to maintain a Drought Contingency Plan (DCP). The City of La Porte and the
La Porte Area Water Authority (LPAWA) has maintained a DCP since the inception of the rule in
1999. The purpose of a DCP is to have a written plan to establish temporary measures to minimize
the adverse impacts from water supply shortage for any reason, including a drought. The plan
defines procedures to manage and conserve the available water supply with regard for domestic
water use, sanitation, and fire protection.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires that the plan be reviewed
every 5 years and updated as needed. During the most recent review, some simple clarifications
were made to the language of the plan. No changes have been made to the trigger conditions or
specific targets for water use reduction.
Every drought contingency plan must include certain elements to be considered complete. One
of the elements is to allow opportunity for public involvement and input.
SHOULD A QUORUM OF THE COUNCIL ATTEND,
NO DELIBERATION OR FORMAL ACTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL
WILL BE TAKEN AT THIS EVENT.
