Celina residents have seen increased water use restrictions since July 2, when Stage 2 of the city’s water conservation measures went into effect.

In a nutshell: Stage 2 includes temporary restrictions on irrigation, recreational water use and landscaping for Celina residents, per the city’s website.

Why now: The water conservation measures serve to reduce consumption when there is a drop in supply or a rise in demand, according to the city’s ordinance.

By the numbers: As of Sept. 8, city staff issued more than 5,000 warnings related to water conservation.

Looking ahead: Celina officials hope to lift the Stage 2 watering restrictions in late September or early October, when plants go dormant and the average daily demand for water drops.

Texas does not have a single system to connect first responders in emergencies, meaning local and state agencies often operate on a network of radio systems that are not always compatible with one another.

The big picture: State leaders said there are more than 50 different radio systems used by first responder agencies across Texas.

"We have situations where counties and cities are on separate ones, and they never know it until they have to [communicate with] each other," state Rep. Ken King, R-Canadian, said during a Sept. 14 legislative hearing.

Looking ahead: King has vowed to pass a bill to integrate first responder communications under a statewide system during the 2027 legislative session, with some emergency management experts calling interagency communications "the No. 1 issue" in the aftermath of disasters.

"[This] is not simply a communication issue—it's a responder safety issue and an operational effectiveness issue," said Kyle Mills, head of planning and preparedness for the Texas A&M Forest Service.
