Since Round Rock and Liberty Hill don’t have a direct water connection, Round Rock will provide water through an established agreement and connection with Georgetown.
The history
Georgetown and Round Rock entered into a 10-year water wholesale agreement in 2020, in which Round Rock provides the city with up to 3 million gallons per day, or MGD.
Liberty Hill requested 0.25 MGD from Round Rock, and the three cities came to terms to wheel the treated water through Georgetown’s water system by way of its agreement with Round Rock.
The conditions
Beginning Sept. 1, Round Rock will increase its water distribution to Georgetown to 3.25 MGD, charging a base rate of $47,732 and a volume charge of $1.22 per 1,000 gallons.
Georgetown will deliver 0.25 MGD to Liberty Hill with a base rate of $11,143.86 and a volume charge of $2.90 per 1,000 gallons.
Georgetown is not liable to deliver water to Liberty Hill if it doesn’t receive the necessary amount from Round Rock. The agreement will expire Dec. 31, 2030, with the opportunity for extension.
What else?
Liberty Hill will also construct a new delivery point at Jeff Walker Way and CR 277 to receive water from Georgetown. This is in addition to the existing connection at SH 29 and US 183.
