We know seeing a change on your bill can raise questions, so we encourage customers to review the information we’ve provided about the rate increase, including why the changes were necessary and what they mean for your utility bill.

🌙🕊️ Lights Out for Migration!

The City of Dripping Springs is proud to proclaim September–November 2026 and March–May 2027 as Lights Out Migratory Months!

Did you know approximately 1 billion birds migrate through Texas each year—and most of that journey happens at night? Bright artificial lights can disorient migrating birds, making their journey more dangerous.

During Lights Out Migratory Months, we’re encouraging community members, businesses and government facilities to help create safer skies by turning off unnecessary exterior lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

By simply flipping a switch, we can help protect migratory birds, preserve our beautiful night sky and support Dripping Springs’ commitment to being a Dark Sky and Bird City community. ✨

🌎 Small action. Big impact. Lights out for migration!

Lights Out, Dripping Springs!🐦

The City of Dripping Springs is asking residents and businesses to turn off exterior lights from 11PM - 6AM, until November 30th, especially during the peak migration period ending October 29th.

From hummingbirds and warblers to sparrows and geese, millions of birds migrate across North America every year, covering hundreds to thousands of miles. Most of these birds make their journey at night, visualizing the magnetic pull of the earth and using the moon and stars to set their course. By taking part in Lights Out Dripping Springs and reducing skyglow over Dripping Springs, residents and businesses can help them make it to their destinations safely!
