The city of Kerrville will host a public meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday to explain, and take questions on, the Elm Creek Pipeline - a project that would let the city send highly treated reclaimed water back into the Guadalupe River above its drinking-water intake during severe droughts.

The meeting is set for the Arcadia Live, 717 Water St. City staff say it will give residents, businesses and others a chance to review project materials, ask questions and tell the city what they want addressed as the project moves forward.

Here is how the city describes the project's central idea: during severe drought, the pipeline would return high-quality reclaimed water to the Guadalupe upstream of the city's intake at Nimitz Lake.
