CITY OF CLIFTON ENTERING STAGE 2 MANDATORY WATER RESTRICTIONS

The City of Clifton will be entering Stage 2 Mandatory Water Restrictions. As we move into this next stage of our drought response plan, we ask all residents and businesses to review the watering schedule and requirements carefully.

Under Stage 2, watering is limited to designated days and times based on your property type/address. There is no watering on Mondays, and watering between 10:00AM and 8:00PM is strictly prohibited. Please refer to the graphic for your designated watering days.

As we enter Stage 2, we also want to make residents aware that overwatering and excessive runoff will be addressed. Due to the nature of Stage 2 restrictions, City Administration has the authority to establish and enforce specific requirements necessary to reduce excessive water use.

Code Enforcement WILL address overwatering when water runoff is observed draining 50 feet or more from the property line. We encourage property owners to check sprinkler systems, watering durations, broken sprinkler heads, and drainage to ensure water is being used efficiently and remaining on the intended property.

Our goal is to work together as a community to conserve water and avoid unnecessary waste while these restrictions are in place.

If you have questions about the restrictions or how they apply specifically to your property, please contact City Hall. Staff will be happy to help you understand the requirements.

Thank you for doing your part to conserve water.

Back-to-School Reminder from the Nellie Pederson Civic Library!

As backpacks get packed and everyone settles back into their new school year routines, don’t forget one last summer to-do: return your summer reads to the Library!

Check those bookshelves, nightstands, backpacks, and car seats for any library books that may be ready to make their way back home.

We hope you had a wonderful summer of reading, and we wish all of our Clifton students, teachers, and families a great start to the new school year!

Around Town with the City of Clifton

This week, our community gathered to celebrate the life of a man who gave so much to the place he proudly called home.

Ronny Lairdon was more than a Bosque County Commissioner. He was a faithful servant to Clifton, a longtime member of the Clifton Volunteer Fire Department, and someone who never hesitated to step in when there was work to be done. His love for this community could be seen in countless ways, including the many hours he dedicated to the Legacy Park Committee, helping restore the historic auction barn and the Little Alamo so future generations could enjoy and appreciate Clifton's agricultural history.

On Saturday, friends, family, and neighbors honored Ronny's life, a true reflection of the impact he made on so many people. The overwhelming support shown was a testament to the respect, kindness, and dedication he shared with our community throughout his life.

Ronny leaves behind a legacy of service, hard work, and a genuine love for Clifton. He will be greatly missed, and we are thankful for the lasting mark he left on our city.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Lairdon family.
