The treatment responsibilities include the operation and maintenance of four wells, booster pump stations, three elevated tanks, two stand pipe tanks and four ground storage tanks with a total holding capacity of 3.1 million gallons. The city also has G.B.R.A. as an alternate source of water. Currently 40% of our water supply is provided by G.B.R.A. water which is piped in from Canyon Lake. The remaining 60% is pumped from the Edwards Aquifer. We are also regulated by Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer on the monthly amount of water the city can pump as well as T.C.E.Q. for bacteriological testing.

The water treatment process begins the minute the water is drawn from the wells. It is injected with chlorine gas and placed into storage tanks where the chlorine begins the process of disinfection. This kills disease causing organisms. The chlorine ensures the microbiological safety of the water. The finished water is then pumped directly to three elevated towers. The towers provide hydraulic pressure throughout the distribution system.
