Austin Water’s approved plant list specifies plants that may receive a new landscape/xeriscape watering schedule variance. A landscape must have xeric (low or very low water use) plants to receive the variance. Austin Water might approve other plants if they will be low or very low water use once established. For a list of stabilization/erosion control plants that qualify for this variance, please refer to The City of Austin’s Standard Specifications Manual Item #604S

Extra bags of trash that do not fit in your trash cart with the lid closed must be placed next to the trash cart and tagged with an Extra Trash Sticker, which can be purchased at H-E-B, Randall's and most local grocery stores for $4 + tax. Extra bags without a sticker will be charged a per-bag fee of $9.60 + tax. If you find that you often set out extra bagged garbage, consider switching to a larger cart for $15 (plus applicable monthly cart fee).

Austin Energy has four main customer classes: residential, commercial, industrial, and other.

Residential customers live in single-family dwellings, mobile homes, townhouses, or individually metered apartment units.

The majority of commercial customers are small to large businesses that fall under Austin Energy’s secondary level of service. This means Austin Energy owns, operates, and maintains the equipment (wires, transformers, etc.) supplying power to those facilities.

Industrial (Primary) customers take service at high voltage (12,500 volts or higher) and own, operate and maintain their own equipment. Consequently, Austin Energy experiences lower overall system losses and it costs less to serve these customers. Large commercial and industrial customers such as semiconductors, high-tech facilities, and data centers typically fall under the primary level of service. These customers have very high usage and load factors because they tend to operate 24/7.

The final class, other, typically refers to street lighting and facilities such as ballparks.

The Residential Water Meter Inspections/Installs Listing: Check on the status of your residential water meter inspections and installations. The list below shows which service requests have been assigned to a Meter Services Inspector. Meter inspections are generally completed within ten business days of the initiation of the Service Request. An address with an “Assigned” service request may have an inspection completed within three business days, barring unforeseen circumstances. Please make sure the meter box is clean, the wooden dowel spacer is sized properly and marked with the service address, and the angle stop and ball valves are in alignment for a successful meter installation.
