The Oltorf Street Reclaimed Water Main Phase 1 Project is part of a series of projects called Completing the Core and will include 2,300 ft. of 24” and 4,300 ft. of 30" reclaimed water main plus miscellaneous drinking water system improvements to address low pressure issues near IH-35.  The project will start at the E Oltorf St and Alvin Devane Blvd intersection and run west along E Oltorf St. and end at Burton Dr. It is an essential project in securing a looped reclaimed water supply.

Timeline

Austin Water’s Oltorf Street Reclaimed Water Main Phase 1 Project will begin construction in April 2023. The project will build a new reclaimed water main to deliver reclaimed water to customers for non-potable uses such as irrigation, toilet flushing, and industrial uses.

Connecting to Reclaimed Water

Reclaimed water is highly purified wastewater that is ordinarily discharged to the Colorado River. Austin Water takes some of the water, stores it in tanks and pumps it to customers for non-drinking uses such as irrigation, cooling, toilet flushing and manufacturing. Using reclaimed water conserves our drinking water supply.
