Austin water quality: then

At the time of its founding in 1839, Austin had under 1,000 residents with no water or sewer system. The city sourced its water from rainwater and wells, or by transporting it by wagon from the river in barrels. Austin water quality saw remarkable improvement in 1871 when the first organized water system began pumping from the Colorado River. 1893 saw the completion of the 60-foot high Austin Dam to provide affordable hydroelectricity. However, in 1900, a disastrous failure of the Austin Dam flooded and destroyed parts of the city. The city’s first wastewater treatment was built in 1919. At that time, a simple chemical treatment used lime to treat river water. Later, in 1937, the city built a new wastewater treatment plant using activated sludge to improve Austin water quality.
