Water Resources Supervisor Marisa Flores Gonzalez discusses Austin's new indirect potable reuse project to combat drought, aiming for full operation by 2028.
Initiative involves recapturing wastewater, treating it, and returning it to Lady Bird Lake for natural mixing before reintegrating into the city's water supply during severe shortages.
Austin Water follows other Texas utilities like El Paso in embracing similar strategies, being part of the Water Forward Plan for long-term drought resilience through various conservation projects.
