The city of Kingsville asks for residents to do two things to conserve water:

  1. Look around your property for excess water. Call and report any leaks to the police department's non-emergency line at (361) 592-4311.
  2. Make sure faucet drips are no more than the amount that would fit through a cocktail straw. A little goes a long way.
