Moving to the Hill Country from the Houston area? Things to know…

If you're moving from Houston to the Texas Hill Country, you already know more about flooding than most buyers in Texas. You likely know what a Zone AE is. You know to ask whether a house took on water during Harvey. You may have carried flood insurance for years.

That experience is an advantage in Dripping Springs and Driftwood. But it can also give you a false sense of security, because nearly everything about how water works here is different: where your drinking water comes from, where your wastewater goes, and how, when, and where flooding actually happens and it does happen.
