Williamson County Weighing Proposal For Ground Water Study

Williamson County officials recently began studying a request from the Lone Star Regional Water Authority to contribute $50,000 to a water study focusing on the feasibility of obtaining groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer and the Wilcox-Carrizo aquifer and diverting it into three storage areas. Communities within the authority’s jurisdiction could then draw water from the storage areas, according to Landy Warren, president of the water authority.

 

The proposed study would determine the scope of current water resources and how much demand there is for more water given expected population growth, Warren said.

 

Warren plans to meet with 25 water providers in Williamson County to discuss the study and ask if these providers would help pay for the ground water study.
