Project Overview

The next Gillis Street Renewal Project online public meeting will be held on Thursday, Nov. 14, via ZOOM at 6 p.m. CST. Join through this link.

The Gillis Street Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal Project is part of Renewing Austin, an Austin Water project dedicated to replacing aging water and wastewater main lines throughout the city. With this work we are conserving water, improving reliability for customers, and reducing expenditures on frequently breaking lines.

Through the Gillis Street Project, Austin Water will replace approximately 1,400 linear feet of water main lines and 1,700 linear feet of wastewater mains. The new lines will be installed on Gillis Street between Casey Street and Philco Drive.  

For the construction phase of this project, Austin Water will partner with the City of Austin’s Capital Delivery Services division, and their project management staff will supervise construction.

Timeline

The project team anticipates that construction will begin near the end of 2024 and take about ten months to complete.

Communications

Closer to the start of construction, we will schedule a public meeting so you can meet the project team, ask questions, and learn what to expect in terms of impact on the neighborhood.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and in the meantime, make sure to sign up for project notifications to stay on top of work schedule, traffic re-direction, scheduled temporary water outages, and more.
