Dear Friends:

If you are in need of water, the city has setup distribution centers around Austin. If you are unable to get to a distribution center, but need water brought to you, we will try our best to find a volunteer to deliver it.

Ten water distribution centers designed to help vulnerable populations who can't purchase or boil water start operations this Sunday around Travis County. All of them will be providing free water on a first-come, first-served basis, until supplies last.

Starting at 11 a.m., residents will be able to get water at the following sites:

Austin Community College: Pinnacle Campus (7748 Highway 290 West, 78736)
Nelson Field (7105 Berkman Dr., 78752)
Onion Creek Soccer Complex (5600 E. William Cannon Dr., 78744)
Roy G. Guerrero Park (400 Grove Blvd, 78741)
ACC Highland Mall Parking Lot (E. Highland Mall Blvd, 78752)
Garrison Park (6001 Manchaca Rd., 78745)
Lakeline Station (13625 Lyndhurst Blvd, 78717)
Walnut Creek Park (12138 N. Lamar Blvd, 78753)
Zilker Park (2301 Barton Springs Rd., 78746)
Anderson High School (8403 Mesa Dr., 78759)

Residents can come to the centers by car or on foot. In both cases, they'll be handed one case of water.

Austin is still under a boil water notice and use restrictions. Water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth should be boiled for two minutes before use.

Note: The ACC Pinnacle Campus' distribution start time has been pushed back to 11 a.m.
