This item would lock in a contract with Arq Purification to supply powder activated carbon for Austin Water — the stuff that helps filter and clean up taste and odor issues in our drinking water. The deal runs two years with up to three one-year extensions, capped at $4.3 million, with $358,333 ready in the current Austin Water budget and the rest depending on future funding.
