Biographical History
Established in 1934 by the Texas Legislature, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is a public agency and conservation and reclamation district in the ten Texas counties through which the Colorado River flows. Between 1935 and 1951 LCRA built six dams along the river above Austin to help control flooding and create a reliable water supply. Charged with the operation of energy services, water and wastewater services, parks and land, and economic and community development since 1995, the agency is also involved in environmental monitoring and pollution reduction. LCRA operates on revenues from its electricity and water sales and other services.
