New communities in central Texas are integrating multi-home rainwater collection systems for their water supply. Lantana Water frequently hauls water to supplement rainwater collection systems.  These communities set an example of self suffiency and responsible design. http://www.hillcountryalliance.org/HCA/News063014

It has always seemed silly to us that we can haul water to fill pools while residents are not allowed to fill from their hoses, despite the water coming from the same lake.  Finally, Lakeway has faced the music and is requiring that new pool fills use water from a source not stemming from the… Continue reading Lantana Water applauds Lakeway pool filling restrictions.

Lantana hauls water throughout the Greater Austin area for pools, households on wells, and businesses.  Lakeway recently mandated that pool fills cannot be supplied from water being drawn from the Highland Lakes system.  We applaud that and are working out an alternate source that is most economical to our customers.   Meanwhile, Austin is devising supply… Continue reading Water delivery is not a solution to supply problems

Based on recent reports, as the drought appears to continue and the population continues to grow, there will be more need for transporting water to locales in need.
