The History of Creedmoor-Maha Water Supply Corporation
In April 1965, the Creedmoor Maha Water Supply Corporation was formed with Preston Law as President. A USDA loan was secured in 1966, and water lines began to be installed.
Creedmoor Maha WSC initially began providing water it purchased from Austin Water. It built a 50,000-gallon storage tank on Hwy183 and a 100,000-gallon water tower on FM 1625. At this time Creedmoor Maha had 350 customers.
In 1976 Creedmoor Maha purchased one-acre of land west of Onion and Bear creeks for the purpose of drilling a well. An FHA loan provided money for the well and water lines. The well was drilled, and six miles of main line was installed to get the water to Creedmoor Maha WSC. Creedmoor Maha WSC customer base increased to over 1,200.
In June 1983, the first office for the water corporation was built on Laws Road. Prior to that, the board of directors had been meeting in the old Creedmoor school house.
In 1985 Creedmoor Maha WSC purchased land close to the original well and installed two more wells. It also constructed a 35,000-gallon water tower at the corner of Laws and Evelyn roads. Shortly after, land was purchased, and a 500,000-gallon storage tank was built on Old Lockhart Road.
In 1997, Creedmoor Maha WSC started purchasing more water from Aqua WSC located in Bastrop. A small pump site was built on Hwy 21 and Caldwell Lane. Water lines were installed from the site down Hwy 21 to Creedmoor Maha WSC.
In 2011 a 1,000,000-gallon water tower was built on Old Lockhart Road next to the existing 500,000-gallon tank. This ensured Creedmoor Maha WSC had the required amount of water storage to serve their expanding customer base.
In 2021 Creedmoor Maha WSC built a new headquarters located at 13709 Schriber Rd., Buda, TX, (in the Mustang Ridge ETJ).
In 2024 Creedmoor Maha WSC built a 1,000,000-gallon storage tank across from the original pump site on Hwy 21. This will allow Creedmoor to significantly increase the amount of water purchased from Aqua WSC and supply the rapidly increasing population of the region. Currently Creedmoor Maha WSC serves 3,500 customers and is projected to grow to 6,000 by 2030.
Creedmoor Maha WSC continues to look for new water sources as the area continues to grow.
