History The Green Water Treatment Plant opened as the Austin Filtration Plant in 1924 on the north shore of the Colorado River in Downtown Austin, which is now part of Lady Bird Lake. The plant opened after the development of a chemical treatment for river water by Dr. E. P. Schoch of the University of Texas in 1923. It was the only water treatment plant in the Austin Water system until 1954, when the Albert R. Davis Water Treatment Plant opened on Lake Austin.

As the Green Water Treatment Plant aged into the 2000s, then-Mayor Will Wynn proposed the relocation or closure of the plant along with the construction of Water Treatment Plant 4 in West Austin.

Residential Skyscrapers In Austin, Texas
A residential area is a land used in which housing predominates, as opposed to industrial and commercial areas. Housing may vary significantly between, and through, residential areas. These include single-family housing, multi-family residential, or mobile homes. Zoning for residential use may permit some services or work opportunities or may totally exclude business and industry. It may permit high density land use or only permit low density uses. Residential zoning usually includes a smaller FAR (floor area ratio) than business, commercial or industrial/manufacturing zoning. The area may be large or small.

Development patterns may be regu ...
