The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $16,888,058 Project Grant under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to the City of Round Rock, Texas. The grant will fund the expansion of the city's reclaimed water distribution system, which treats water from the Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and distributes it to customers for various uses.

The project will add dual electrical feed and additional pumping capacity to the treatment plant, construct approximately 2.2 miles of 24-inch pipeline to extend the reuse distribution system, and build around 2.9 miles of 24-inch pipeline to serve additional customers, including the Clay Madsen Center and Switch Data Center. This will increase the system's reclaimed water production capacity from the current 6 MGD to a maximum of 12 MGD, or 13,452 acre-feet per year, representing approximately 50.5% of the city's current annual domestic water supply and 28.3% of its projected water needs at buildout. The grant award period runs from September 2024 to December 2026.
