| EDITOR'S NOTE |
Water
Forum is expanding. Issues that affect western
Travis and northern Hays counties often are related
to larger concerns around the Highland Lakes
and the Colorado River basin. Future Water Forums
will explore not only water utilities, but water
quality, pollution monitoring and enforcement,
water supply and conservation, and other interconnected
matters. We hope you find every issue informative
and educational. Do you have a story idea? Contact web.editor@lcra.org.

Recent
water service agreements between LCRA and landowners
along Hamilton Pool Road include measures that require
low-impact construction and development. Read about key
construction monitoring, inspection and conservation
measures that are designed to protect the area's water
quality, plus link to download the entire contracts.
LCRA's
water quality experts recently conducted an
assessment of the Bee Creek watershed in far
western Travis County. Now you can see the
results online: an interactive map, a slide
show and the story of this watershed. This
watershed assessment, along with others planned,
can help LCRA and the public keep track of
water quality issues over time.
Last
month, LCRA named Suzanne Zarling executive
manager of Water Services to oversee water
and wastewater utilities, river operations,
river services, and other functions. Recently,
Zarling answered questions about her new responsibilities
and the challenges LCRA faces in providing
services to growing areas.
