Austin Water Utility is rehabilitating wastewater infrastructure in the neighborhoods along the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Chesterfield Avenue. Most of the sanitary sewer pipes in this area, known as the Upper Waller Creek drainage basin, are constructed of clay and concrete and are undersized or approaching the end of their useful life. CAS Consulting & Services, the contractor for this project, has also confirmed that the sewer interceptors are inadequate to handle future water flows during peak wet weather periods.

Project Description

The Austin Water Utility will replace, rehabilitate and re-route approximately 16,000 feet of existing 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch sewer pipeline, including approximately 5,000 feet of sewer pipeline from Airport Boulevard north along Isabelle to Swanee, then north along Northcrest to O'Dell, and north from Airport Boulevard along Guadalupe to St. John's. Another approximately 8,500 feet of sewer pipeline will be rehabilitated from Airport Boulevard to 551/2 Street, east to Chesterfield, south along Leralynn, east on 51st Street and then south to 47th Street. Easements will be required across several government owned properties, namely COA, AISD and UT owned properties.
