Austin City Council updates on Water Treatment Plant 4 and a report on Water Conservation successes in Austin
At the City Council Meeting on July 23, 2009, the Austin Water Utility provided the newly elected Council with
updated information concerning the construction of Water Treatment Plant 4. In 2008, the City of Austin purchased
92 undeveloped acres in Northwest Austin at the southwest corner of FM 620 and Bullick Hollow Road as the location
for Water Treatment Plant 4. The Bullick Hollow tract was purchased with money from an approved 1984 bond vote,
the year AWU officials started planning for the eventual need for a fourth water treatment plant.
Since that vote, the Green Water Treatment Plant has been decommissioned. Water Treatment Plant 4, while planned
as a fourth treatment plant, would actually become the City's third in operation.
The Austin Water Utility also provided a report on the successes of its water conservation efforts and provided
details on those successes.
Below are copies of the information provided to the City Council.
