Austin Water

For over 100 years, Austin Water has been committed to providing safe, reliable, high-quality and affordable water services to our customers. Many additions and improvements have been made over the years to keep Austin Water in step with technology and Austin’s growing population.

Austin’s first organized water system began in 1871 when a private company, under a franchise granted by the City, began pumping water from the Colorado River. In 1893, the 60-foot high Austin Dam was completed in the hopes that cheap hydroelectricity would lure business. After a catastrophic failure of the dam on April 7, 1900, parts of the city were flooded and destroyed. Shortly after that the City of Austin bought out the private water company and formed what is now Austin Water.
