Round Rock will add 76 acres of property, near the city's border with Georgetown, to its water utility service area. The property is part of a 230-acre, in-city municipal utility district that will bring about 900 homes to the area. 

What you need to know: Round Rock Public Works Director Michael Thane said that as the MUD is planned to be within city limits, it made sense to transfer the area's water service from Jonah Water Special Utility District.  

City documents show the transfer of water service is "mutually advantageous." The city council moved to approve the measure in an April 9 meeting. 

Remember this?: In June, Council approved the creation of an in-city MUD on 230 acres of property near the northwest corner of University Boulevard and CR 110. The tracts of land were rezoned to SF3, one of the city's single-family zoning designations, and would generally resemble typical subdivision standards of the city, documents state. 

KidsUnited recently opened a new location in Round Rock, bringing a youth soccer development center to teach children the sport through a variety of programs.

The overview: The soccer training facility is meant to help children learn skills they need to be successful in soccer, as well as to develop their self confidence to be successful in life. The facility offers programs for children ages 1.5-9 years old.

The company’s foundation programs focus on developing motor skills, cognitive development, balance and more. Fundamental programs focus more on the technical aspects of the sport, including soccer coordination and understanding of the game. The advanced programs are designed for children to build off the earlier stages of training.

Williamson County commissioners discussed allocating money in the county’s capital improvement plan to upcoming projects, such as the Juvenile Justice Center, at a March 31 meeting.

Digging deeper: There is almost $17.9 million in the fiscal year 2025-26 CIP budget that has not yet been allocated, County Auditor Julie Kiley said at the meeting.

Commissioners suggested prioritizing current projects with the cash left over, including the remaining balance of the Juvenile Justice Center project, totaling $17.4 million. They voted to allocate $500,000 to an internal computer software project.

Existing projects in the CIP will require the majority of funding in FYs 2026-27 through 2031-32, according to county documents.

The largest priorities within the existing project list include:

• $20.65 million for a new Precinct 4 Annex requested in FY 2026-27
• $14.9 million for the Lake Creek Annex improvements requested in FY 2026-27
• $17 million for technology requested over the next five years
