Round Rock to consider water agreement with Georgetown

Round Rock City Council will consider an agreement for the city to continue treating water for the city of Georgetown at its March 26 meeting.

The gist: The cities of Round Rock and Georgetown entered into a water treatment and transmission agreement several years ago, with Round Rock treating up to 3 million gallons of raw water per day from Lake Georgetown because of the extra treatment capacity at Round Rock’s plant. Round Rock’s water treatment plant has the capacity to treat 52 million gallons per day.

With the agreement now expired, Georgetown asked Round Rock to renew the deal. According to city documents, Round Rock will have additional capacity to treat water based on future demand projections. Per the agreement, Georgetown will be charged a monthly base rate of $3,702 and volume rate of $2.21 per thousand gallons of water.

Williamson County Coverage

Williamson County officials reevaluate voting procedures for upcoming primary runoff

County officials, party leaders and voters unpacked what went wrong on the March primary election day, and detailed the changes residents can expect when they return to the polls, during a March 24 special meeting called by Williamson County commissioners.

What happened: Because of the shift to precinct-level voting for the March 3 primary election day, the county had to secure and equip a larger number of polling locations on a shorter timeline. Additionally, both parties struggled to fully staff these locations, Williamson County Elections Administrator Bridgette Escobedo said.

Many voters arrived at the wrong location, drove to multiple sites and faced wait times of up to two to three hours, according to multiple accounts from election day voters at the meeting.

What’s next: Both parties have agreed to return to countywide voting for the upcoming primary runoff May 26.

Voters will be able to vote at any Williamson County polling location, and both parties have agreed to share locations to reduce confusion and share resources.
