Infrastructure Home

Our technicians continuously monitor the health and functioning of meters, pipes, pump stations and treatment plants. We consider population growth, life-cycle costs, and system reliability to make strategic investments to replace and improve Austin's water and wastewater infrastructure. We make these upgrades while minimizing disruptions to our customers. And finally, our crews conduct regular preventative maintenance to care for and extend the life of our water system, safeguarding our community needs now and for years to come.
