Public community meeting will review watershed data and provide input.
The Texas Water Resources Institute, TWRI, invites Brushy Creek area community members to a public stakeholder meeting for the Brushy Creek Watershed Protection Plan, WPP, on April 23 in Round Rock.
The meeting will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at 3400 Sunrise Rd.
Improving local water quality
This meeting is part of ongoing education and outreach for the development of the WPP, a voluntary, stakeholder-driven process to protect and improve water quality in the creek, which currently faces bacterial impairments in some sections.
Attendees will review results from the Brushy Creek Watershed Characterization Report and learn how stakeholder input will guide the plan’s goal setting.
Help shape the future of Brushy Creek
“Community input gives us real insight into what is happening in the watershed,” said Sarah Stannard, watershed coordinator with TWRI. “This meeting is a chance for residents and local organizations to share their experiences and help guide the future of Brushy Creek.”
Through watershed planning, research, and public education programs, TWRI helps communities protect and improve the quality of Texas water resources. TWRI is a unit of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that brings together expertise from across The Texas A&M University System.
