DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas - The Dripping Springs City Council has decided to extend the Temporary Development Moratorium for another 120 days in relation to wastewater needs. The decision was made during a city council meeting on May 17. 

The moratorium went into effect on November 18, 2021, and was originally scheduled to run through Nov. 27. In February, it was extended to May 21. The moratorium will now run through September 18, 2022.
