The Water District’s two-step beneficial reuse water plan upholds the commitment shown to Belterra homeowners and their Hill Country neighbors since day one of the planning of this community.

Belterra has been lauded by the Lower Colorado River Authority for its conservation-focused, environmentally-friendly neighborhood design.

The Water District has promoted wise water management and conservation among its ratepayers, to ensure the community is using this area’s precious natural resources wisely.

Belterra is one of the only Hill Country communities to invest in an advanced water treatment system, rather than septic systems that are more prone to leaks and contamination of groundwater.

As the Water District plans for new families moving into Belterra, the benficial reuse plan combines a commitment to preserve water quality, while employing an innovative focus on water conservation and reuse.

• Just as clean-recycled water is used to irrigate golf courses, this beneficial reuse plan uses Belterr’a clean-recycled water to irrigate public green spaces such as parks and trails.
• The Water District intends to reuse every possible drop of its clean-recycled water for irrigation.
• On those occasions when heavy rains have completely saturated the soil and made irrigation impossible, the Water District will release some amount of clean-recycled water into Bear Creek, where it will mix with the rainwater already flowing in the creek and have little, if any, impact on the habitat or downstream neighbors.
