Brazos River Authority
Pioneers in Water
Treatment Solutions

Beginning in the early 1970s, the Authority pioneered the development of regional wastewater systems. Today, the Authority operates wastewater systems for the cities of Temple/Belton, Hutto, Clute/Ridgewood, Georgetown, Sugar Land, Liberty Hill, Lee County Fresh Water District No. 1, Round Rock, Cedar Park and Austin.

The Authority owns and operates two regional water treatment systems. In 2004, the Authority purchased the City of Taylor's water treatment plant immediately implementing plans for a $14 million expansion that would allow the plant to serve as a regional treatment plant.

The Authority also owns the Lake Granbury Surface Water and Treatment System (SWATS). The SWATS plant provides water to the City of Granbury, the Acton Municipal Utility District, the Johnson County Fresh Water Supply District No. 1, the Johnson County Special Utilities District, the City of Keene. The system uses an advanced membrane treatment process to remove naturally occurring salt from the water of Lake Granbury and render it suitable for potable purposes.

In addition to the regional plants, the Authority contracts to provide potable water to the Lee County Fresh Water Supply District No. #1 and the Sandy Creek Water Treatment Plant in Leander.

Over the years, the Authority's plants have received numerous awards from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recognizing the excellence of their operations, maintenance, and design.

In addition to treatment and technical assistance, the Authority is involved in several other areas including managing construction projects, industrial pre-treatment programs and providing construction inspection services.
