WATER CONSERVATION CODE REVISION PROCESS - Workshop Tonight!

On Thursday January 19, residents and businesses are invited to attend a workshop to discuss how the City should regulate water use in times of drought and review specific restrictions like the watering schedule and limits on car washing. The workshop will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in Room 104 of Austin Water’s Waller Creek Center located at 625 E.10th Street.

The regional drought has created unprecedented challenges for Austin Water and the residents of Austin. After discussions with the City Manager and City Council, Austin Water is beginning the process of revising the current Water Conservation Code to better align with long-term drought conditions.

At stake is striking a balance between conserving our available water supply for the safety of our citizens and sustaining our local economy and the natural surroundings so unique to Austin.

On Tuesday, December 13, representatives from a broad list of stakeholders met to discuss the current situation and worked on devising a public process to revise the current codes. As meetings are scheduled, they will be announced at the following web site as well as a variety of other mediums.

The meeting was well attended, probably 200 people. I was a table consisting of 2 people from the Heritage Tree Society, and gardening author and the president of the Austin Home builders association. There was very good participation in the process although the basic goal of the meeting was to define what restrictions should be placed on residential and commercial water use at each stage of the watering restrictions as we hit each trigger level ( based on lake levels.) Some interesting brainstorming and points of view and lots of concern for the tree canopy in Austin.
