Mueller Lakes
The next neighborhood over from mine in Austin is Mueller, which is a redevelopment of the Old Mueller Airport. In order to build the neighborhood and not flood all of East Austin, they had to build an extensive retention system to hold back the water. They went a step further to pump purified waste water from the purification plant on the Colorado River back to Mueller to be used for irrigation. An extensive lake system with park land around it was built to manage this water.
