1. Introduction & Background

   Hurst Creek Municipal Utility District was created by the Texas Water Commission in 1979 to provide water, sewer and drainage services to approximately 700 acres in western Travis County, Texas.

2. Contents & Appendices

   Read through the contents of the following pages.

3. Description of the Planning Area

   Hurst Creek MUD’s primary service area is a residential subdivision, The Hills of Lakeway, originally platted in 1979 in the City of Austin’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.

4. The Water System

   The District purchases raw water from Lake Travis pursuant to a Water Sale Contract and Conveyance Agreement.

5. Irrigation of the Hills Golf Course

   Due to the legislative ban on wastewater discharges in the Highland Lakes region, golf course irrigation with wastewater effluent goes hand-in-glove with operation of a public water system.

6. Past Conservation Efforts

   The District’s service area is composed of relatively large, affluent homes with extensive landscaping. In 2002 the District implemented an increasing block rate structure, wherein larger volumes of water are billed at a higher rate.

7. 5 & 10-Year Conservation Goals

   Certain changes in the irrigation infrastructure will have beneficial effects on reducing the volumes of Lake Travis water required for the golf course.

8. Conservation Plan Implementation

   The Board of Directors will consider adopting this plan with a formal resolution (see appendix 6) and implement it through direction to the General Manager to initiate the necessary modifications to the effluent delivery facilities.

9. Reporting & Review

   An annual report describing the implementation, status and effectiveness of the water conservation plan will be submitted to the Texas Water Development Board.
