Studies

As Kendall County, including all of the City of Fair Oaks Ranch continues to grow in population and associated commercial development, it is important to properly plan and manage the future water supply and wastewater facilities in the County and the City and to protect water quality in the region.

This study examines facilities needed to meet future demands in Kendall County and the City of Fair Oaks Ranch through a thirty-year planning period from 2010 to 2040 while protecting the surface water quality and groundwater supplies of the region. The study also investigates potential regional management opportunities for water and wastewater facilities associated with development through this planning period.

This study examines population projections, projected water supply needs, existing water resources, proposed water plans, and proposed cost estimates. The study also examines the current availability and viability of the proposed projects in the Region L plan to meet the water supply needs of Caldwell County. Potential regional water and wastewater projects were identified for consideration to meet the needs of the county.

In addition, management strategies are identified that could be considered for implementation to reduce potential non-point pollution loads into the surface water and groundwater resources of Caldwell County.
