Texas SB2897 allows county commissioners courts to adopt water conservation programs for unincorporated areas, including municipal extraterritorial.

Texas SB2897 amends the Local Government Code to allow the commissioners court of a county to adopt a water conservation program for the unincorporated area of the county, including the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality. This program may establish water use restrictions, water conservation standards for developments starting after August 31, 2025, and other strategies to conserve water resources. Notably, these restrictions and standards do not apply to agricultural operations as defined by the Agriculture Code.
