Travis County
Filters, UV lamps, pumps, first-flush, and tank inspection on any rainwater system in the Spicewood area, whoever installed it.
The short answer
Yes. We service rainwater systems in the Spicewood area, about 30 minutes from our Dripping Springs shop — whoever installed it and however long it's been.
Spicewood is spread along the Highway 71 and Pedernales/Lake Travis corridors, with many acreage properties on rainwater or rainwater-and-well setups. Distance and tree cover mean we often see systems that have gone a while between services, so a first visit here frequently starts with a full assessment before any parts go in. We cover filter and UV replacement, pump service, first-flush and tank maintenance, and water testing.

Long-run average. Catchment area, not tank size, is what limits reliability.

About 30 minutes
Close enough for same-day emergency response.
Emergency response
Same or next day
In most cases when you call before noon. Plan customers get priority.
Permitting note
Spicewood is unincorporated, so Travis County TNR is the authority. The county's Basic Development Permit covers man-made changes to real estate — grading and excavation included — which is worth confirming for a tank pad before anyone breaks ground.
What we do here
Local conditions
Spicewood is unincorporated and spread thin, and utility service reaches very little of it. Most acreage here is on the Trinity, on collected rainwater, or on both. Lots are large and heavily treed, which is good for catchment and hard on conveyance, and it means the nearest help is rarely close by. Rainwater ends up as the primary supply on a lot of these properties for the simple reason that running a line to them was never realistic.
If you're on collected rainwater around Spicewood or the Pedernales, you're inside our regular service range off the Highway 71 corridor.
From our customers
★★★★★
Dripping Rainwater and Henry Cawthorne make household chores delightful rather than daunting! He's ready with smiles, answers and ability to put my custom rainwater system back in good working order after so many years of neglectful maintenance by previous companies. I gladly recommend his expertise to all needing this excellent service!
