South IH-35 Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements Program | Austin, TX
The Austin Water Utility decided to implement, and independently fund, a specific comprehensive South IH-35 Water and Wastewater Program to meet the planned and future development and to implement the Long-Range Master Plan. In order to fulfill the needs of the Master Plan, the Program identified 24 individual capital improvement projects (CIP) required to construct 23 water main segments, five wastewater reaches, and one pump station. These 24 CIP include da new 20-million gallons per day pump station at the existing Pilot Knob Reservoir, 13 miles of 36-inch to 48-inch water transmission main, and five miles of 30-inch to 54-inch diameter wastewater interceptor.
