The city of Kyle says it again may not have enough water to meet its needs in the future.

Kyle city leaders approved the plan to buy the water for the third year in a row. City leaders say it's to keep up with their booming population in the middle of a drought.

“They're looking for cities like Kyle that need that water and we will take that from them. That way they're not absorbing the cost of water they're not using,” Director of Water Utilities Mike Murphy said. Kyle will start getting 1.7 million gallons of water a day starting in February 2025. It'll make up 20% of the total water they get. They're constructing the pipes and water tank to hold it now.

According to Murphy, there are also other parts to their long-term water goals with the city at Level 3 Water Restrictions. They also plan to release a Water Master Plan next year that includes conservation efforts to be included in daily life, not just whenever there's a drought.
