It will accomplish this by installing 2,800 linear feet of 24-inch reclaimed water main to expand the reclaimed water distribution system along West Riverside Drive. Approximately 2,150 linear feet will be installed using conventional open trench methods. The remaining 650 linear feet will be installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The HDD method is utilized to avoid conflicts with West Bouldin Creek and the Union Pacific railroad bridge. The Project will enhance the centralized direct non-potable reuse service area and increase the number of reclaimed water users in Austin. The Project, which is currently in the bid phase, is part of a series of initiatives designed to provide more reliable service to reclaimed water customers. Once completed, it will deliver reclaimed water to customers for various non-potable uses, such as irrigation, toilet flushing, and industrial applications.

Additional Backup Information: This action will authorize Austin Water to apply for a low-interest loan in an amount not to exceed $11,000,000 for the construction phase of Austin Water’s South 1st Street Reclaimed Water Main project (Project). The Project aims to increase the use of reclaimed water and decrease the demand for potable water. It will accomplish this by installing 5,300 linear feet of 24-inch (30-inch HDPE) reclaimed water main to expand the reclaimed water distribution system on Monroe Street and South 1st Street. In Monroe Street, the reclaimed water main will be installed using conventional open trench methods. The crossing of East Bouldin Creek will be completed via jack and bore. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is the main method of installation in South 1st Street. There are two separate HDD segments totaling approximately 4,000 linear feet. The use of HDD will significantly reduce the impact to traffic in the area and cross East Bouldin Creek without impacts (trenchless installation).

Item 7 Water & Wastewater Commission: April 15, 2026 Council: April 23, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to file an application with the Texas Water Development Board for a low-interest loan in the amount not to exceed $6,000,000 from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Lead Service Line Replacement Program for Austin Water's Galvanized Water Service Line Replacement Program. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact. The additional funding needed for this program is contingent upon available funding in future Austin Water budgets. Fiscal Note This item has no fiscal impact. The additional funding needed for this program is contingent upon available funding in future budgets. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: April 15, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: This action will authorize Austin Water to apply for a low-interest loan in an amount not to exceed $6,000,000 from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for the construction phases of Austin Water's Galvanized Water Service Line Replacement Program (Program). TWDB administers low-interest loans through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Lead Service Line Replacement program to provide low-cost financial assistance for the identification, planning, design, and replacement of service line materials required to comply with the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. This program offers a below-market fixed interest rate, which will save Austin Water customers from higher financing costs compared to traditional revenue bond financing. Lead has not been permitted in public pipeline infrastructure since the 1950’s and Austin Water has removed pre-existing lead lines during normal maintenance activity and water line rehabilitation projects since the 1960’s. In 2016, Austin Water began a comprehensive record review and material inventory of all public water service lines, including public and private side indicators, in compliance with the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. In 2024, Austin Water completed investigations of all drinking water service lines in its system. This work included reviewing records such as plumbing codes, City ordinances, property development dates, and utility workorder files, as well as completing over 52,000 field inspections at meter boxes. Austin Water has no known lead water service lines in its inventory. In addition to lead, EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) requires the replacement of any galvanized drinking water service line that is, was, or may have been downstream …

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: April 15, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: During an October 2015 storm, the existing 16-inch reclaimed water main in the Country Club West Creek on the east side of Krieg Fields was exposed and damaged. The damaged main was a source of reclaimed water for a large volume customer, the Krieg Softball Complex, and provided a bulk fill station for Austin Parks and Recreation. The replacement main was part of a larger project sponsored by Austin Watershed Protection; however, the proposed elevation would not guarantee the new reclaimed water main against future damage, Austin Water decided to remove the scope. This project will replace the reclaimed water main with approximately 1,150 feet of 16-inch ductile iron, 20- inch High-Density Polyethylene pipe (HDPE), and its accessories. Because the soil in the area erodes easily, the longterm fix is to install the new pipe deeper and outside the erosion zone using horizontal drilling. By moving the new line out of the erosion zone, the replacement main will provide customers with a more reliable and resilient source of reclaimed water. Item 8 Water & Wastewater Commission: …

Requested authorization is based on the bid received for the required services. If a contract is not approved, Austin Water will be unable to validate the accuracy of its production meters.

A STRATEGIC PLAN TO PROTECT AUSTIN’S CREEKS AND COMMUNITIES City of Austin | Austin Watershed Protection FINAL DRAFT 2026 A Strategic Plan to Protect Austin’s Creeks & Communities LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT As we introduce the Rain to River Strategic Plan, we ground our work in the recognition that every watershed has a story – one that began long before Austin was a city. By sharing this land acknowledgment, we hope to honor the Indigenous peoples who have cared for these lands and waters for generations while acknowledging the harms that persist today. We acknowledge, with respect, that the land we are on is the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Tonkawa, the Apache, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, the Lipan Apache Tribe, the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians, the Coahuitlecan and all other tribes not explicitly stated. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge and pay respects to the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Texas, Carrizo & Comecrudo, Tigua Pueblo, Caddo, Comanche, Kiowa, Wichita, Chickasaw, Waco nations, and all the American Indian and Indigenous Peoples and communities who have been or have become a part of these lands and territories in Texas, here on Turtle Island. Not all indigenous peoples listed claim Texas as ancestral lands, as many were forcibly relocated to Texas from their ancestral homelands. Though our work is just beginning, the vision and values in this strategic plan call us to care for our watersheds with humility, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility for generations to come. This shared purpose is reflected in the plan’s commitments and strategies, which prioritize equity, resilience, and collaborative stewardship. In adopting this new plan, we affirm our responsibility to learn from the land, repair relationships, and build trust as we work toward a future where watershed protection and cultural respect go hand in hand. 1 The clear, flowing water of Barton Creek at Sculpture Falls Scientist evaluating a wetland along Gilleland Creek Crew repairing a tributary of Tannehill Branch Creek Youth educator exploring a cave in the Edwards Aquifer Engineer assessing erosion on a tributary of Walnut Creek WELCOME LETTER I’m pleased to introduce Rain to River, the updated strategic plan for Austin Watershed Protection.
