Nighttime Water Outage – Tuesday the 24th 2025 at 9 PM
The City of La Vernia Public Works Department will be installing two isolation valves on Tuesday night, starting at approximately 9:00 PM:
Work Locations:
•
Fixing the existing valve on Bluebonnet Road
• Installing a new valve on San Antonio Street
Why at night? This timing allows us to completely shut off water for the work. Conducting this during the day would require a hot tap—more complex and potentially disruptive.
What to Expect:
A considerable number of residents may experience temporary water service interruptions while the isolation valves are installed.
In Case of Issues:
Call 830-779-4541 for La Vernia City Hall or the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office 830-393-2535
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this essential maintenance to improve water reliability for our community. Water service should be fully restored once the work is done.

STAGE TWO WATER RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT
PSA: City of La Vernia Water supply is moving from stage 3 to stage 2 water restrictions. In response to current water conservation needs, we are implementing Stage 2 water restrictions. These measures are designed to ensure sustainable water usage while protecting our resources. Under Stage 2, residents are encouraged to limit outdoor watering to specific days based on their address. Additionally, the use of hoses and sprinklers is restricted to certain hours to minimize evaporation.
We ask everyone to be mindful of their water consumption, including limiting car washing and refilling pools. By working together, we can help conserve water and ensure it remains available for essential needs. Thank you for your cooperation in this important effort
