Liberty Hill City Council unanimously approved plans Jan. 28 to sell $25.9 million in bonds to fund construction of an Advanced Water Puri cation Facility—a wastewater treatment system—pilot. The bonds will be sold to a bidder selected by the city and repaid over time using revenue from the city’s wastewater system. The city is scheduled to receive the funds from the bond sale in February, according to city documents. The treatment facility is a key component of the city’s Pure Water LHTX program, which aims to provide long-term clean water for Liberty Hill OK’s $26M bond sale for water reuse
