LEARN ABOUT AUSTIN’S Water Quality
Continuous Quality Controls and Increased Frequency of Testing for the Highest Quality Water Innovations and quality controls have been added to strengthen our water treatment processes and ensure you receive the best – every time you turn on the tap. For example, Austin Water increased the frequency of water testing above what is required by regulatory agencies to ensure water quality. In addition to daily and hourly testing at each water treatment plant, a minimum of 300 tests are taken throughout the distribution system every month to check for bacteriological contaminants, chlorination levels, and other important parameters. An expanded snapshot of our rigorous quality controls and upgrades is posted on our website as well as an annual Drinking Water Quality Report that provides information about the City of Austin’s drinking water. Find the 2021 Consumer Confidence Report online at the link below, or call 512-972-0155 to receive a copy by email or mail.
Austin Water Quality Report 2021 Austinwater.org/WaterQuality Para una versión en Español llame al 512-972-0214
Austin Water’s annual consumer confidence report describes the overall quality of water from its raw collection and storage to the treated purity at your tap.

Our circulation is over 2 million residential mailboxes, and it grows each month with new residents and developments.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: Near triple-digit temperatures for days on end in early May? I’m certainly no meteorologist, but the lack of rain in our area seems to have given us a jumpstart on summer. In our front-page story this month, Reporter Grace Dickens explores the risk of a future megadrought in Central Texas. Continuing inside (see Page 28), she shares what a climatologist suggests we as residents can do to mitigate the e ects of a long-term drought. We also break down the impact various droughts have had over the years to one of our largest local lakes, Lake Travis, and what we can expect if it goes much longer without signi cant rainfall. It seems everything is truly bigger in Texas—even our droughts! Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER dlovett@communityimpact.com

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Project Connect rail cost jumps

ONGOING PROJECTS
PROJECT CONNECT RAIL LINE COSTS INCREASE $4.5B As Austin’s Project Connect team moves from its 15% design to 30% design stage this summer, planners say factors such as real estate and construction costs and inflation are upping project costs 77%.

BY BEN THOMPSON
New cost estimates show a 77% spike in cost as planning for Project Connect’s Orange and Blue light-rail lines is on track to progress from the 15% to 30% design stages this summer. Austin voters approved a $7.1 billion package for Project Connect in November 2020 to expand the city’s bus and rail network. At the 5% design stage, estimates for the light-rail lines totaled $5.8 billion: the Orange Line at $2.5 billion, the Blue Line at $1.3 billion and extensive tunnel work for both tracks at $2 billion. Now, heading into the 30% design phase, those figures have jumped to $10.3 billion. Transit officials said the $4.5 billion revision, including $600 million more for the Blue Line and around $2 billion each for the Orange Line and tunnel, has several causes.

Emerald Forest Drive connectivity The Austin Department of Transpor- tation is upgrading bike lanes and installing new pedestrian crossings on Emerald Forest Drive to improve connectivity and safety in the area. The work includes adding protective barriers along existing bike lanes and adding three pedestrian crossings at Austin Highlands Boulevard, Speer Lane and Gobi Drive. The road will remain open throughout construction. Timeline: April 2022-end of May 2022 Cost: $800,000 Funding source: 2016 mobility bond

Among those is a “significant” increase in land acquisition costs along the proposed rail lines given Austin’s hot real estate market and nationwide inflation that is driving up the construction budget. Officials said the new estimates will not affect Project Connect’s voter-approved tax rate, but the extra cost could affect the timeline
of the project. “The Project Connect program is not immune to the global and national economic pressures that everyone is feeling. Transit, air- port, highway, utility, housing and commercial projects are all seeing cost increases,” Project Connect Program Officer David Couch wrote in an April 7 memo.

Downtown demolitions pave way for skyline growth
VERTICAL VOYAGE Over the past several decades, downtown Austin’s skyline has shifted away from a history of low-rise o ces to welcome more high-rise towers.
BY BEN THOMPSON
make the market stand out among growing cities, Peart said. Many towers on the horizon are not dedi- cated to a single use with some mix of o ce, residen- tial, and hotel or retail space. Resident and corporate demand for mixed-use options could lead to down- town Austin becoming an “18-hour city” where personal and work activities take place just a small distance apart due to new development options, Peart said. Chad Barrett, managing principal at Aquila Com- mercial, said today’s vertical swell builds on initial changes dating to the mid-2000s when downtown had a more “sleepy” vibe. Signature development has since moved either to the central business district or north to The Domain, in part given tech’s hold over development trends. “Nowadays, your big tenants are the Facebooks, the Googles, now TikTok and Cirrus Logic. Those are the tenants that are really driving the growth of downtown,” he said. Much of that new growth comes partially at the expense of what came before, an issue that can prove to be divisive both for speci c projects and in the broader context of Austin’s growth. District 9 Council Member Kathie Tovo, who rep- resents downtown, said she embraces much of the change the city has seen over her term in o ce. How- ever, she said she has also aimed for years to improve local preservation systems as older o ces, homes, warehouses and restaurants are torn down to pave the way for new towers. “There are huge bene ts to the redevelopment we’ve seen downtown,” Tovo said. “I do wish … we approached redevelopment with more creativity and that we didn’t make demolitions so very easy in this city.” Preservation in focus Some downtown stakeholders have held for years that Austin’s protections for other historic buildings are lacking. Advocates say the absence of e ective tools leaves the city without many options to protect historic spaces. “This economic wave has risen so high that even
Austin’s development boom is showing no signs of slowing down with plans already in place to bring hundreds of stories of new development to the city skyline in the next few years, potentially at a cost to much of the familiar downtown landscape. As Austin’s core is moving further from its mid-1900’s low-rise pro le to prominent high- rises and high-pro le buildings, some o - cials and preservation advocates say Austin will not be able to recoup the historic character. Some of Austin’s land-use and preservation pol- icies have set the stage for the widespread redevel- opment underway downtown. While the Historic Landmark Commission reviews properties on a case- by-case basis and can recommend their preservation, many redevelopments still move through City Coun- cil, especially if the property owner opposes historic designation. Because leaders chose not to designate historical districts, the trend of redevelopment has already been set, some experts said. Areas such as the Rainey Street Historic District, a nationally recognized residential block that quickly became a hub of luxury condo and hotel towers, exemplify how quickly Austin blocks are changing. “[People] want to see something with Austin’s character and soul,” said Lindsey Derrington, exec- utive director of Preservation Austin, a nonpro t focused on the conservation of historic areas and structures. “And where you tip the scales of, all of a sudden, more is new than old, you’re really going to Even with all the recent development, cranes still dot the downtown skyline as dozens of new tower projects are in the works—including 98 Red River St., which at 74 stories would be Austin’s tallest. “Looking at what we know is in the pipeline, the vertical development downtown will essentially dou- ble the size of downtown,” said Dewitt Peart, presi- dent and CEO of the Downtown Austin Alliance, an advocacy group focused on downtown. The types of developments coming to Austin also change that dynamic.” Building up downtown

very well-supported and very loved—and you would think o -the-table—institutions are feeling the exact same pressure,” said Ben Heimsath, vice chair of the Historic Landmark Commission, at a March meeting. The commission is tasked with determining the potential historic value of structures citywide. But even if the board attempts to designate a building as historic, contested demolition cases can be elevated to City Council. At that stage, Tovo said o cials’ backing of a preservation tag over a property owner’s wishes happens “extraordinarily rarely” given defer- ence to owners—while allowances for towering high- rises more often get a green light. The con ict between old buildings and new growth recently generated a large public response around plans to rebuild a portion of West Fourth Street, home to Austin’s LGBTQ nightlife scene. Development of a new tower would result in the demolition of several bars tied to the gay community. Criticism around the project led the commission to designate the properties as historic—although the move may only temporarily stop the project ahead of council review. The Hanover Co. project team said its plans would preserve aspects of the block by bringing back Oilcan Harry’s and reconstructed brick facades. That type
of middle ground is something Tovo also said she hopes city policy could better provide. History and new growth

The case, and others recently considered by the commission, also served as an example of the varying pressures that often lead to the loss of older, poten- tially historic structures without signi cant pushback. “It’s frustrating how the few tools that we do have are being overwhelmed,” Heimsath said May 4. “This is going to be our future over the next several years, and it’s going to be pretty dismal.” While the West Fourth Street project generated enough support for a delay, many older buildings downtown have not. One example, a warehouse building at 301 San Jacinto Blvd. now home to Vince Young Steakhouse, was recommended for historic zoning by the city’s preservation o ce this year. Despite its links to old Austin industry, its property owner’s wish to likely move toward more pro table redevelopment led city o cials to avoid imposing a historic tag, which could limit development options. As it currently stands, the preservation issue is typically addressed in Austin on a case-by-case
basis. Derrington said the city fell behind on an e ort to designate more historic districts, rather than lone properties, that could have stabilized more historic areas. “We just started late, and so we missed a lot of opportunities,” she said. The lack of an o cial designation covering Aus- tin’s Warehouse District has led to multiple demo- litions or project proposals there, one of the areas highlighted by Tovo and Derrington. But even nationally listed districts along Rainey Street and East Sixth Street are not immune. A new proposal from the owner of many Sixth properties east of Brazos Street could see modern o ces stacked atop those landmark buildings in the near future. “Over the next 10 years … there’s going to be an immense amount of construction going on,” Peart said. “We do have challenges with infrastructure and a ordability that are constantly needing to be worked on.”

Thousands of 911 calls diverted to mental health specialists
Public Safety Commission pushes for higher EMS pay
3,766 calls to 911 diverted from law enforcement in 2021 request mental health help beyond the standard police, fire or EMS services. CALLING FOR CHANGE Austin 911 callers can 80%-85% of those calls are not returned to law enforcement When police are aware of mental health issues

As contract negotiations between the city of Austin and its three public safety labor associations continue, the public safety commission is advising officials to grant a request for increased pay from the Austin EMS Association. Austin-Travis County EMS opened budget negotiations with a request for $27 an hour minimum wage. Last month, the city offered ATCEMS medics a $0.14 raise. During a May 2 safety commission dis- cussion of the labor contract process, EMS Association President Selena Xie said EMS pay is falling behind the cost of living in Austin, which the city’s initial offer would not address. The EMS vacancy rate had risen past 18% as of February, and Xie said the department is short around 25% of its budgeted positions as of May—a situation she labeled as a “crisis.” After hearing from Xie, commissioners largely sided with the EMS association and called on Austin to up its initial offer. Negotia- tions will continue through this year.
in our community the assistance and help they most need. The second thing is, is that this kind of response that’s more tailored to the actual need is going to make us all safer,” Mayor Steve Adler said. Most calls that are directed away from an initial police response do not require law enforcement intervention, Murphy said. The city has seen between an 80%-85% “true diversion rate,” or share of calls that are never transferred back to police or EMS after the mental health option is selected. In addition to freeing up resources in the call center, Murphy said recent trends also show the practice has improved outcomes for those involved. APD data shows when officers are aware they are being dispatched
In Austin, those calling 911 are met with the standard police, fire and EMS options in addition to a fourth choice for mental health emergencies. Calls requesting help with a mental health issue are then forwarded to a specialist at the 911 call center and could result in clinicians and case managers, rather than police, responding to an incident. At an April 19 City Council meeting, Austin Police Depart- ment Lt. Ken Murphy said 3,766 calls to 911 were diverted away from law enforcement in 2021. Murphy said that figure could reach as high as 7,800 diverted calls this year. “This is what change looks like. That does two things. One is that it better gets for the people
