Item 33 — Thursday, April 23, 2026

In plain language — from agenda source text

Council is weighing whether to extend wastewater service to a 2.85-acre tract at 1107 Castle Ridge Road, which sits in some of Austin's most sensitive turf — the Drinking Water Protection Zone, the Barton Springs Zone, and the city's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Because it touches the Barton Springs watershed, extending utility lines here is the kind of decision that carries environmental weight beyond a single hookup. There's no fiscal impact to the city; the property owner pays the infrastructure costs to connect to Austin Water's system.
