  • AUSTIN WATER PUBLIC WORKSHOP

    Administrator

    As you may know, Austin Water is leading the development of Water Forward – Austin’s integrated water resources plan. This 100-year plan will evaluate mid- to long-term water supply and demand management options for the City of Austin. This plan will provide a holistic and inclusive approach to water resource planning – including significant public outreach and engagement, with a focus on gathering meaningful public input to develop a plan that is representative of Austin community values.

    Austin Water is hosting a public workshop in the coming weeks and we welcome your participation. If you are unable to attend, please forward to another representative of your group. Details about the event are included below:
