Celina entered Stage 2 of its Water Conservation Plan on July 2, according to a city news release.

What you need to know: Stage 2 includes temporary restrictions on irrigation, recreational water use and landscaping for Celina residents, per the city’s website.

The cause: According to the city’s Drought Contingency Plan, Stage 2 restrictions are triggered when supply levels at key water sources fall or demand begins to approach capacity.

Going forward: Additional water supply will help align Celina’s capacity with its growing population once Lake Ralph Hall, a lake UTRWD is building in Fannin County, becomes operational, according to previous reporting.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas operates the state power grid, overseeing the flow of electricity to over 27 million customers. Yet ERCOT does not directly participate in Texas’ electric market or own any of the facilities that deliver power across the state.

The big picture: Power generation plants, transmission facilities and distribution lines are owned by outside companies, meaning that local power outages are typically isolated and handled by individual companies, rather than ERCOT.

How it works: In 1999, Texas legislators passed a law deregulating the state’s retail electric market. The law was designed to “introduce competition in Texas’ electric market by allowing consumers to choose their retail electric provider,” according to ERCOT.

Previously, most Texas utility companies owned all aspects of the electric supply chain, including generation, transmission and the delivery of power to customers.

Today, approximately 85% of electric customers in Texas can choose their retail electric provider, including those across the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth regions. Customers in Austin and San Antonio get their electricity from municipally owned utilities.
