Good morning Dimmitt!

What a nice surprise this rain was! Right now we have minor street flooding in and around Dimmitt in the usual spots, including Broadway St, Bedford St, and Western Circle.

The rain should subside in the next 30 minutes or so and the flooding will ease shortly after. Use caution while driving this morning.

Public Notice by the City of Dimmitt.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

Citizens of Dimmitt,
In accordance with the City of Dimmitt, TX Water Drought Contingency Plan, Stage 1-Mild Water Shortage Conditions has been implemented.

Water consumption has exceeded the single day trigger of our Drought Contingency Plan and is quickly approaching the 30-day trigger. Stage 1-Mild Water Shortage Conditions requires a consistent 25% reduction in daily water demand. Stage 1 of the Plan may be rescinded when all of the conditions listed as triggering events have ceased to exist for a period of ten (10) consecutive days.

In the unfortunate event that water consumption is not lessoned, Stage 2-Moderate Water Shortage Conditions will be implemented, which will cause the regulation of water usage.

The Dimmitt Splash Park will be closed until further notice.

We respectfully ask that you please limit water usage on lawns and gardens at this time.
