It depends on the drought stage your water utility has declared. Texas Water Co.'s Comal County drought plan says Stage 3 may add restrictions on installing and filling swimming pools, and Stage 4 prohibits all outdoor water use.
Below that, the plan limits landscape watering by address: two days a week in Stage 0, once a week in Stage 1, and once every other week in Stages 2 and 3, always 7 to 10 a.m. or 7 to 10 p.m.
Not every home around the lake is a Texas Water Co. customer. Check your bill for your provider before you plan a refill.
Most summer water loss is evaporation, and heat, wind and dry air all speed it up. A solar cover cuts it down, which helps when drought rules limit how much you can add.
To tell evaporation from a leak, do a bucket test: set a bucket on the pool step, fill it to the pool's water level, and mark both lines. After a day with the pump on its normal schedule, compare the drops. If the pool lost noticeably more than the bucket, look for a leak.
Homes around the lake are in range, plus those along the Guadalupe River, Potter Creek, Jacobs Creek and Mountain Creek.
The lake itself is the Canyon Reservoir that New Braunfels Utilities lists as one of its surface water sources.

Use the bucket test: a bucket on the pool step filled to the same level, compared after 24 hours. A pool that drops clearly faster than the bucket likely has a leak.
