Built-in protection measures |
The contracts LCRA will consider to provide water service along Hamilton Pool Road include provisions developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the area's water quality. These measures include buffer zones to protect streams and environmental features, limits on impervious cover and other low-impact subdivision design elements.
