Plumbing in Round Rock
Very hard water, 249 mg/L on average, is how Round Rock's 2025 Consumer Confidence Report (a PDF dated 6.15.26) describes the city's supply. That water comes from Lake Georgetown, the Edwards Aquifer and Lake Travis water treated by the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority. The report says the city has developed an inventory of city-owned and customer-owned service lines under the revised EPA Lead and Copper Rule, but it doesn't give a count of lead lines.
On Round Rock's building inspection pages, the 2024 IPC is among the codes in force, with the 2024 IBC, IFC, IECC, IRC, ISPSC and IMC, the 2023 NEC and the City of Round Rock Code of Ordinances. They explain how to apply for a plumbing permit but show no fee, so ask Planning and Development Services what yours will cost. That office is at 301 W. Bagdad Avenue, Suite 210, Round Rock, TX 78664, on 512-218-5428, and permits are applied for in the online Permit Portal.
