AWU to seek input on permanent reduced watering schedule
Thursday, December 3, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Starting this January, the Austin Water utility will be asking Austinites to weigh in on whether the city should move to a permanent one-day-per-week watering schedule. That schedule was adopted during the drought, and Austin Water has touted a permanent change as a “sound direction” for Austin. To determine whether the public feels the same way, open houses will be held throughout January, with schedule and locations to be announced soon. In the meantime, people can voice their opinions online, through a survey at SpeakUpAustin.org.
