The Travis Heights Reclaimed Water Main project will add 4,500 linear feet to Austin Water's recycled water system. Also known as reclaimed water, recycled water is captured from drains at homes and businesses around the city, treated to a high quality at our facilities, and sent back to customers through special purple-painted pipes to be used for non-drinking purposes like irrigation, flushing toilets, and evaporative cooling. 

The new installations will run along Fairmount Avenue, Monroe Street, and Alameda and East Side Drives. Ultimately Austin Water will complete a central ring of pipes linking the city's north and south recycled water systems.
