Austin Water to distribute bottled water during repairs

This Friday, June 7, Austin Water Utility will distribute bottled water at Bowie High School for southwest customers impacted by waterline repair work. On Monday, the water utility announced it will be repairing a 48-inch water main on Friday, which will take it out of service for up to 12 hours. Work is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. While the line is out of service, customers are being asked to limit water use to only essential uses to help in maintaining water pressure. Water will be distributed from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Austinites can determine whether they will be in the affected area using this map.
