Austin Water Projects

The McNeil Drive Transmission Main Project will bring increased capacity for moving drinking water from the Handcox Water Treatment Plant to customers in Northwest Austin by installing 8,500 linear feet of new pipeline along McNeil Road.

In the Old Enfield neighborhood, Austin Water will install 3,640 linear feet of new water lines and 6,600 linear feet of new wastewater lines.

Austin Water has made plans to improve water pressure for customers along the West and East Oltorf corridors. This project will start the process and take place near the Travis Heights neighborhood.

Austin Water has installed miles of purple pipe carrying reclaimed water across the city and is working to complete a central reclaimed water ring. The Oltorf Reclaimed Water Project Phase 2 will complete this core network.

The Parker Lane Pipeline Renewal Project is part of Renewing Austin, a program to improve water infrastructure by replacing main lines that are aging and breaking.

The South 1st Street Reclaimed Water Main is part of a series of projects to expand backup capacity and improve service reliability for reclaimed water users across Austin.

Austin Water and Austin Capital Delivery Services are replacing the main 15KV electrical switchgear at the South Austin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SAR WWTP) to maintain reliable wastewater treatment.

After Winter Storm Uri in 2021 caused extensive water outages in the area, we've been studying, designing and planning improvements to the water infrastructure for our neighbors in Southwest Austin.

The Travis Heights Reclaimed Water Main project will add 4,500 linear feet to Austin Water's recycled water system.
