No water at ERSNA
Wednesday, June 2, 2021 by Tai Moses
The water tower at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area in Fredericksburg was damaged by February’s severe winter storm. Now the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is advising visitors and campers that they’ll have to bring their own water to the park while a crew is working to repair the water tower. There will be no water available for drinking water, personal hygiene or cleaning equipment from June 4-July 1. The restrooms will be closed, though port-a-potties and composting toilets will be available for use. Park staffers urge visitors to bring sufficient water for their stay, recommending “at minimum 32 ounces of water per person per hour of physical activity.” Friends of Enchanted Rock will be selling bottled water at park headquarters during office hours, and bottled water is also for sale in the vending machines.
