Item 10 — Thursday, April 23, 2026

In plain language — from agenda source text

Council is weighing whether to issue $59 million in water and wastewater revenue bonds to fund Austin Water's expansion of the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and related upgrades. The bonds would help the utility add capacity as the city grows, and the debt payments for this year are already built into the 2025-2026 approved budget.

How it affects me: If you use Austin Water, this item lists $59,000,000.
