Georgetown Water Factoids

The city council was presented a water Integrated Resource Plan at the March 28, 2017 workshop. The plan estimates water supply and demand over the next 35 years and assesses the needs to meet projected population growth. Here is the "money" chart!

Raw water supply is estimated to be adequate until 2045 to 2050.

Treated water production capacity is 40 Million Gallons per Day and current peak demand is 36 Million Gallons. The current treatment plant capacity is expected to be fully used by 2022. There is the capability to purchase 6 Million Gallons per Day from Round Rock at a significantly higher cost, but, that would only be a short term solution.

The Lower Colorado River Authority(LCRA), which supplies the bulk of Georgetown's raw water is expected to raise water prices 5% annually going forward.

Either the existing water treatment plant capacity will have to be increased or a new plant will have to be constructed by 2022 to meet the projected needs. In any event, expect your water bills to continually increase in the future as the city grows.
