Item 32 Passed 10-0
Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to file an application with the Texas Water Development Board for a low-interest loan in the amount not to exceed $6,000,000 from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Lead Service Line Replacement Program for Austin Water's Galvanized Water Service Line Replacement Program. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact. The additional funding needed for this program is contingent upon available funding in future Austin Water budgets.
Council is being asked to greenlight an application to the Texas Water Development Board for a low-interest loan of up to $6,000,000 to help fund Austin Water's program for replacing aging galvanized water service lines. The money comes from a state revolving fund earmarked for swapping out old lead and galvanized pipes, the kind of infrastructure work that keeps drinking water clean as it travels to your tap. The application itself has no fiscal impact, though any future funding for the program would depend on what's available in Austin Water's budgets down the road.
