Description
Description | Austin Water broke ground on a $1.5 billion expansion of the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to increase treatment capacity by 25 million gallons per day, bringing the total to 100 million gallons per day. The project aims to upgrade critical infrastructure to improve the treatment process, protect the environmental health of the Colorado River downstream of Austin, maintain reliable wastewater service, protect public health, and support sustainable water use across the community. A portion of the treated wastewater will be reused for irrigation and other non-drinking purposes, with the remainder safely returned to the Colorado River. |
