LCRA has begun implementation of a High Efficiency Toilet (HET) distribution pilot program as included in the Board approved 2009 Firm Water Conservation Plan. The HET pilot program was launched in the spring of 2010 in partnership with Travis County WCID 17, Lakeway Municipal Utility District, and the City of Cedar Park in an effort to replace inefficient toilets installed before new federal plumbing standards were implemented in 1992. Currently the program is active with Travis County WCID 17, and has been closed for the other two utilities.

Did you know? LCRA has restrictions about wasting water. If you are an LCRA water utilities customer you may be charged a minimum of $200 on your monthly water bill for misusing water.
To help prevent that, LCRA field employees may leave informational materials on the doors of homes where they spot leaks, improper watering and other water-wasting activities. Don't be a water waster! For more information call LCRA Customer Service at 1-877-718-4396.
