Georgetown at a Glance
- Historic downtown square

- Georgetown’s municipal electric rate was above-market from 2019–2023 due to its renewable energy contracts. Rates have normalized but remain worth comparing to neighboring utility territories.
- Water supply
- Georgetown draws from Lake Georgetown (USACE) and the Edwards Aquifer. Drought-stage restrictions are possible. Confirm water provider and current stage.
