In a move aimed at strengthening Liberty Hill’s long-term water reliability amid rapid city growth, crews broke ground Feb. 25 on an Advanced Water Purification Facility pilot project, according to an update from Director of Public Works Jacob Parsons.
Some context
The Advanced Water Purification Facility is at the core of Liberty Hill’s long-term water plan, according to city officials. The purpose of the facility will be to purify reclaimed wastewater to meet drinking water standards and reuse it for city water customers.
The city's water needs are projected to increase by 12% per year for the next 10 years and then by 16% per year through 2050, according to Community Impact's previous reporting. The development of a full-size purification facility is expected to provide 4 million gallons of clean drinking water per day once completed.
