State Gives Green Light for Innovative Water Reuse Plan
The State of Texas gave the green light on February 11th for the innovative and pioneering water reuse plan for the Belterra neighborhood in Dripping Springs.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) unanimously approved the permit that clears the way for the Hays County Water Control and Improvement District #1 (Water District) to pursue its two-pronged strategy to conserve groundwater and control costs for Belterra families by reusing the community’s clean-recycled wastewater for irrigation. The TCEQ was satisfied that the Water District’s plan would neither degrade the water quality of Bear Creek, Edwards Aquifer and Barton Springs, nor harm the Barton Springs Salamander.
