Item 33 Failed 10-0
Approve Service Extension Request No. 6290 for wastewater service to a 2.85-acre tract located at 1107 Castle Ridge Road within the City’s Drinking Water Protection Zone, the City’s two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction, and Austin Water’s wastewater service area. This action concerns land located within the Barton Springs Zone. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact. The property owner will pay the related infrastructure costs to connect to Austin Water’s wastewater system.
Council is weighing whether to extend wastewater service to a 2.85-acre tract at 1107 Castle Ridge Road, which sits in some of Austin's most sensitive turf — the Drinking Water Protection Zone, the Barton Springs Zone, and the city's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Because it touches the Barton Springs watershed, extending utility lines here is the kind of decision that carries environmental weight beyond a single hookup. There's no fiscal impact to the city; the property owner pays the infrastructure costs to connect to Austin Water's system.
