Why Leander Springs?

Real data for Leander's future

COMMUNITY

21 acres of public parkland & trail connections.

JOBS

2,614 permanent jobs | 15,511 construction job-years at full completion.

REVENUE

$225.2M net benefit to local taxing districts.

LAGOON

0% city water | 0 chemicals | 80%-95% recycled (Closed-loop ZLD System by VVater.com). Lagoon daily top-off requires just 6.3 GPM (Flow rate of 1 active lawn sprinkler zone; Daily volume equal to 6-7 homes).

What the Experts & Studies Prove:

$225.2M Community Tax Benefit: Independent economic analysis confirms $225.2M in net tax revenue for Leander schools, roads, police, and fire—funding public services without raising resident property taxes.
Complete Aquifer Protection: Certified 30-year modeling proves our deep well leaves the Middle Trinity Aquifer 100% full of water—preserving pump depths for neighboring Middle Trinity wells and zeroing out impacts on shallow upper wells.
0% City Drinking Water Used: The lagoon relies 100% on a private deep well paired with chemical-free, closed-loop recycling (VVater, LLC), averaging just 6 gpm for long-term make-up—equivalent to 1 active lawn sprinkler zone (or roughly 2,000–2,500 sq ft of turfgrass irrigation)—to preserve municipal tap water for local homes.
Expanding Municipal Infrastructure: Leander’s Deep Water Intake expansion will boost city treatment capacity to 31.2 MGD by 2027, securing long-term treated drinking water for 200,000+ residents to support future municipal growth.

Let’s Talk Facts, Not Fear: What the Science Actually Says About Leander Springs & Local Water Wells

💧📄 We know there is a lot of noise, speculation, and panic circulating on social media regarding local water wells and Leander Springs. As neighbors who care deeply about our community’s natural resources, we believe every well owner deserves certified scientific facts—not unverified rumors.

Today, we are sharing the full, stamped Technical Memorandum (dated August 17, 2026) prepared by Senior Hydrogeologist Elizabeth Ferry, P.G. (President, R. W. Harden & Associates, Inc.).

Key Takeaways Every Leander Well Owner Needs to Know

Shallow Domestic Wells Have ZERO Physical Impact. If your well is completed in shallow, upper limestone layers, it is hydrogeologically isolated from our deep production well by hundreds of feet of thick, impermeable rock layers (aquitards). Our pumping draws strictly from a deep formation between 572 to 737 feet deep—resulting in zero interaction with shallow water tables.
The Deep Target Aquifer Stays 100% Fully Saturated. Pre-pumping natural water levels in our deep target formation sit ~180 feet ABOVE the top of the rock formation under natural artesian pressure. Certified 30-year analytical flow modeling proves that even under worst-case 30-year continuous extreme drought conditions, the target formation remains 100% full of water under artesian pressure.
Minimal Impact on Surrounding Deep Wells. For neighboring wells completed in the same deep Middle Trinity layer:
- Modeled artesian pressure changes taper off to less than 0.1 foot (under 1 inch) at a 3-mile distance.
- Because artesian pressure stays ~164+ feet above the top of the rock layer, regional pump submergence depths and water availability remain completely safe.
Real Physical Field Testing, Not Just Computer Models. This study wasn't guessed from a desk. Hydrogeologists drilled State Well #609529 on-site, collected physical formation samples, performed geophysical logging, and conducted a constant-rate pumping test followed by a 12-hour recovery test to measure real-world site conditions.
0% City Drinking Water Used. Leander Springs relies 100% on its private deep well paired with VVater, LLC’s chemical-free recycling technology. It uses zero treated municipal tap water, leaving every drop of city tap water for local homes and businesses.
