Liberty Hill, Texas: Planned treated water augmentation
To meet the increasing water demands of our growing city, Liberty Hill is investing in Pure Water LHTX. This innovative program will create a safe, independently controlled and sustainable new water supply for Liberty Hill.
Currently, Liberty Hill purchases water from the nearby city of Leander, which sources raw water from Lake Travis, before drinking water treatment and distribution. Liberty Hill also owns and operates several wells which extract groundwater and use as drinking water supply. Due to limitations of the groundwater basin and increased pressures on surface water supplies, Liberty Hill is moving forward with advanced water purification as a proven strategy to ensure reliable water supply for its growing community.
Under this program, recycled water from the South Fork Wastewater Treatment Plant will be sent to an advanced water purification facility. This new facility will include a multi-barrier system of proven technologies that safely and efficiently purifies recycled wastewater into drinking water.
This new water supply will improve Liberty Hill’s water supply reliability by lessening reliance on purchased surface water from Lake Travis and make Liberty Hill more resilient as drought conditions continue to impact our community year after year.
Pure Water LHTX will allow Liberty Hill to sustain growth while securing our water source for generations to come.
When complete, the advanced water purification facility will produce enough water to meet the entire demand of our service territory.
