Austin Water Programs
The Austin Water Conservation Division performs inspections on new residential irrigation systems to ensure compliance with State of Texas and City of Austin irrigation standards.
Austin Water regulates all liquid waste haulers operating within the City of Austin's jurisdiction in accordance with City Code.
Austin Water's smart metering program allows customers to access water use data, sign up for custom notifications, and receive potential leak alerts.
Austin Water regulates On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF), commonly known as septic tanks, within the City of Austin's full jurisdiction and areas annexed for implementing the Health and Safety Code.
The pipes running beneath Austin's streets work hard for you every day, delivering clean water to your tap and safely removing wastewater for treatment.
Conserving water extends beyond cost savings. It reduces electricity usage for treatment, minimizes costly system expansions, and secures clean water for future generations.
Austin Water has constructed reclaimed water bulk water facilities at several locations within the Austin area to make reclaimed water available to customers with water hauling trucks.
Reclaimed water is recycled from wastewater generated by homes and businesses and treated for non-potable uses. Though reclaimed water is not used in the drinking water supply, it meets many of the criteria for drinking water.
We are ready to help you evaluate water, wastewater, and reclaimed water service to your proposed development.
