Residents in San Marcos, Buda and Kyle are now receiving 6 million gallons of water daily from a new regional supply system following completion of the Alliance Water Treatment Plant and pipeline segments A, B, D and E. Officials said in a news release that segment C is nearly complete and plans are underway to expand the plant's capacity to process more groundwater.

In a nutshell

Construction on the Carrizo-Wilcox Water Project’s transmission system, which includes a $55 million, 568-acre water treatment plant, was announced in 2021, according to previous Community Impact reporting.

“Once completed, the capacity of the system will reach 27 million gallons of water per day,” officials said in the release. “This water supply will benefit more than 225,000 residents across this project’s serviced area, which continues to grow.”

What’s next?

Officials said the project is ongoing. Design plans to expand the capacity of processed groundwater at the treatment plant are in the works, with construction expected to begin in early 2026.
