The City of Austin and Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) have a Water Partnership to assess water use, implement water conservation strategies and ensure water quality for Austin and the surrounding area. The long-term plan is to ensure up to 250,000 acre-feet of additional water for Austin through 2100.
The Partnership is committed to including stakeholder and customer concerns in the water supply planning process. A stakeholder group provides input on water use issues, and the Partnership regularly presents progress reports to the Austin City Council, LCRA Board, and other area agencies. Annual Reports are available in the Resources section below.
