Community Engagement Opportunity
Help shape the future of water
Monday, May 19, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano
Austin Water is looking for help in crafting its future, and the future of Austin’s water, and is offering two ways to get involved this month. The first, least-intense option is to take part in a five-minute, online community survey, open now through the end of the month. The second option is to sign up for a focus group facilitated by Blue Sky Partners. Groups will meet June 4, 12, 17 and 21 at various library branches. Anyone interested in taking part in one of the groups should sign up here, and will be notified at least a week prior to the meeting to confirm attendance. Participants will receive a $50 gift card for their trouble.
