WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas — Williamson County leaders know they cannot slow down the growth they're experiencing.
"We're seeing so much growth, you know, developing the water or the wastewater, it's expensive, takes some planning," Commissioner Russ Boles said.
Boles grew up and lives in Round Rock, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.
"It was a small community and we relied on a well, and the well ran out and it failed. And when you run out of water, there's a variety of things that that concern you," Boles said. "From that time, Round Rock has been working on their water."
