Are there other similar water treatment plants in Central Texas (i.e., plants in relative proximity to residences)?
Two examples are owned by the City of Austin. Residences in West Lake Hills border the Ullrich Water Treatment Plant. The plant was constructed in 1969 and has a capacity of 167 million gallons per day (mgd). Neighbors on three sides surround the Davis Water Treatment Plant, a 118 mgd plant located on West 35th Street and built in 1954. Because of Austin’s hilly terrain, both water treatment plants have neighbors who view the plants from above. Property values have continued to rise in both of these highly desirable neighborhoods.
