Item 10 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 15, 2026 Council: July 23, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval to authorize negotiation and execution of a financing agreement with the Texas Water Development Board for a 20-year, low-interest loan in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 for Austin Water’s polybutylene pipe replacement project, also known as the Municipal Conservation Project. Funding: Contingent upon available funding in future Austin Water budgets. ..De Fiscal Note Funding is contingent upon available funding in future Austin Water budgets. Prior Council Action: May 8, 2025 - Council authorized the City Manager to apply for funding from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for a low-interest State Water Implementation for Texas (SWIFT) loan in an amount not to exceed $45,000,000 for Austin Water’s polybutylene pipe replacement project. August 28, 2025 - Council authorized negotiation and execution of a financing agreement with TWDB for $3,000,000 for the polybutylene pipe replacement project. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: July 15, 2026– To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: On July 24, 2025, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) approved the City of Austin’s application for a low interest, multi-year loan in the amount of $45,000,000 through the SWIFT loan program for the implementation of Austin Water’s polybutylene pipe replacement project. This multi-year loan process involves several annual loan closings with potential adjustments to loan terms. This allows Austin Water to receive a funding commitment for the capital improvement project but to close on portions of the funding over a multi-year schedule. Austin Water's waterline services replacement program was established to systematically replace water service lines (the small-diameter lines that connect water mains to customer meters) in order to reduce water loss throughout Austin's distribution system. Polybutylene pipes tend to fail at a disproportionately high rate compared to other materials such as copper and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This initiative is part of Austin Water’s conservation strategy, which seeks to minimize water loss through the replacement of outdated service lines. This proposed loan installment will cover a portion of the ongoing costs for this multi-year project to replace polybutylene service lines in multiple Council districts. Across the City, Austin Water has replaced a total of 37 percent (11,627) lines with another 63 percent (19,000) lines identified so far for replacement over the next ten years. Additional polybutylene service lines may also be identified for future replacement …

To: From: Date: Subject: MEMORANDUM Environmental Commission, Resource Management Commission, and Water and Wastewater Commission Shay Ralls Roalson, P.E., Austin Water Director May 28, 2026 Board and Commission Review of Capital Improvement Projects in the Drinking Water Protection Zone The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a report of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) located within the City’s Drinking Water Protection Zone (DWPZ), in accordance with Austin Water’s Financial Policy No. 8. The DWPZ designation and the associated financial policy, adopted by City Council, are included in the Appendix and outline the requirements for identifying, reviewing, and obtaining Board and Commission input on capital projects within western Austin and Travis County. The DWPZ is subject to development regulations to protect water quality and contains critical water resources that support both the environment and the community. Together, these policies establish the process through which capital projects in the DWPZ are submitted as part of the annual budget process as part of Austin Water’s comprehensive five-year capital improvement plan. The Fiscal Year 27–31 CIP includes projects located throughout the Austin metropolitan area, including the DWPZ. These projects are essential improvements to maintain and enhance Austin Water’s services and operational standards. Austin Water has a robust and comprehensive asset management and capital planning program, in which condition, capacity, and level of service are reviewed annually to validate these investments in resiliency, preparedness, and proactive infrastructure management. The CIP projects in the DWPZ are shown in the attached CIP Subproject Supplemental Information Summary and Map.

This included development of code amendments to support transit in May of 2024 (Ordinance No. 20240516-005), including creation of the ETOD combining district (restrictions on non-transit supportive uses) and the DBETOD combining district (allowing residential use, and relaxing some development standards including increased height in exchange for income-restricted housing). Properties within one half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions were included within this overlay, and certain properties were rezoned through a City-initiated process to include the ETOD and DBETOD combining districts. Further, properties rezoned with DBETOD combining district were categorized into Subdistrict 1 (maximum allowable height of 120 feet) or Subdistrict 2 (maximum allowable height of 90 feet), generally based on property distance of ¼-mile or ½-mile from the Phase 1 alignment, respectively. However, that rezoning process did not modify any base district zoning or any combining district zoning, which is the subject of this request.

WATERSHED: Shoal Creek Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: MOPAC Bridge Capitol View Corridor. See Attached Letter. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a four story office/residential building with a single residential unit on the fourth floor. Structure parking is proposed on a below ground level and at street level. A waiver is requested from the requirement to place a pedestrian oriented use between the first floor parking and the street. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned DMU-CO-ETOD-DBETOD. The Conditional (CO) overlay establishes a height limit of 40 feet for commercial uses and up to 60 feet for Residential uses above 40 feet. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: LDC Section 25-6-591 (see appendix) establishes parking standards for projects in the downtown CBD and DMU Zones. One of those requirements is that a parking garage must be separated from an adjacent street by a pedestrian-oriented use. Allowed pedestrian-oriented uses are listed in LDC Section 25-2-691 and include residential uses as well as a variety of retail, restaurant and personal services uses. LDC Section 25-6-591D authorizes the Planning Commission to waive the requirement to provide a pedestrian oriented use if enforcing that regulation does not allow a reasonable use of the property or if other circumstances attributable to the property make compliance impractical. The applicant is requesting a waiver based on the size and configuration of the lot and the proposed access and parking layout. The subject site is a mid-block parcel, approximately 50 feet wide with frontage on 11th Street to the north and to the alley on the south. The proposed building extends to the east and west property lines. A below-ground parking level 10 spaces (including one ADA space) be accessed from the alley.
