The Council is being asked to greenlight a construction contract with Austin Underground, Inc. to build the West Riverside Reclaimed Water Main for Austin Water. Reclaimed water lines let the city stretch its water supply by piping treated, non-drinking water for things like irrigation and cooling — a key piece of conserving Austin's drinking water as the region grows. The deal runs $3,699,813 plus a $369,982 contingency, for a total not to exceed $4,069,795, all drawn from Austin Water's Capital Budget.
