“Having another water source for the WCID 1 customers means added resiliency and future redundancy for this vital resource. “Master planning efforts on the part of the District in 2009 and the City of Killeen from 2012 and earlier, highlighted the need for additional water supply to the south and west of Killeen,” Ricky Garrett, General Manager for Bell County WCID #1 said. The cities of Killeen, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove along with Water Control and Improvement District #3 in the Nolanville area and the 439 Water Supply Corporation provided funds for the project that will be operated by Water Control and Improvement District#1 which also supplies water to Fort Hood. Five parks are within 7.7 miles, including Silver Comet Trail, Chattahoochee River NRA - Cochran Shoals / Sope Creek, and Chastain Park. Here you’ll find three shopping centers within 0.5 mile of the property. Previously all the drinking water in the area had come from the water plant at Lake Belton. Stillhouse Vinings is in Central Vinings in the city of Atlanta. The plant can produce about 17 million gallons of fresh water per day to serve central and west Bell County along with a portion of Coryell County. Stillhouse Hollow Lake will now be a source for millions of gallons of drinking water a day with the completion of new Lake Stillhouse Water Treatment Plant.
