Georgetown package plant to support wastewater flow at Pecan Branch plant

The city owns the property at 3500 FM 971, which is currently in Georgetown’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. As part of the rezoning for public facilities use, the city will also create a municipal service agreement for the package plant to bring it into city limits.

There are a number of ongoing water infrastructure projects in the city to provide additional capacity for growth, Hutchinson said.

The Three Forks Water Reclamation Facility—which will be built across FM 971 from the Pecan Branch plant—is part of Georgetown's $1.96 billion five-year water and wastewater capital improvement plan. Officials are currently in the design phase for the facility, and construction is set to begin in 2027.

The city is also constructing the Northlands Water Reclamation Facility and finishing the second phase of the South Lake Water Treatment Plant.

Georgetown will need to expand its water supply by 2030 to support the growing population and increase its drought resilience. These projects help increase and diversify the city’s water supply, according to city documents.
