You're invited to LAKEWAY MUD Drought Planning Meeting (Open to the Public)
2024-03-26 19:00 - 20:00 | Lakeway Activity Center, 105 Cross Creek Lakeway, TX 78734
In preparation for another hot summer through a persistent drought, Lakeway MUD will host a watering restrictions update planning meeting for the public on Tuesday, March 26 and Thursday, April 4, 2024 from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Lakeway Activity Center located at 105 Cross Creek. This will be a chance for the public and LMUD customers to get an update on current and future water use restrictions. After a brief presentation, attendees will be offered an opportunity to ask questions and give feedback before final decisions are made on the new Drought Contingency Plan. These meetings will not be recorded so we encourage you to attend. Seating is limited. The same information will be presented at both meetings.
The biggest change in the Plan will be moving to a restriction of no automatic irrigation at a combined storage level (lake levels of Lakes Buchanan and Lake Travis, the two water supply reservoirs in the Highland Lakes system) of 750,000 acre-feet; the current Plan accounts for this change at 600,000 acre-feet. The current combined storage level, according to LCRA’s River Operations Report, is at about 848,000 acre-feet (Buchannan at 47% full and Lake Travis at 39% full). Assuming an insignificant amount of rainfall in the right areas between now and this summer, with an increase in evaporation (this past summer’s highest user) and an increase in irrigation, we anticipate reaching the new trigger level and implementing no automatic irrigation restrictions by late summer.
LMUD customers have been under 1-day per week irrigation restrictions, on an assigned day, since September 1, 2022 while some of the other local water utilities only recently moved to this restriction for their service area. One of the goals with the new drought plan update is to have all local water providers implement the same, or similar, irrigation restrictions to minimize confusion and help slow down the rate of decreasing lake levels. Plan updates are required to include compliance with the LCRA Board of Directors’ decision to amendment their Drought Contingency Plan requiring limiting irrigation of ornamental landscapes to no more than once per week when the combined storage of lakes Buchanan and Travis drops below 900,000 acre-feet.
On average, the EPA estimates 30 – 60% of residential water is used to irrigate lawns. While local water utilities are separate from the City of Lakeway, City government has recognized the need to make policy changes that accommodate a cultural change towards minimizing the percent of non-functional grass that makes up traditional landscaping at homes in our area. Last year, Lakeway City Council approved several ordinances related to building and development services, including the use of integrated water management, described as “an integrated approach to managing water which includes landscaping with preferred plants, the green infrastructure approach to rainwater capture and management, and greywater systems.” LCRA has also begun plans to include the removal of turf grass to their rebate offerings, which are available to LMUD customers. Since the evaporation from pools is also a large cause for water waste in our area, pool covers will also be required. LCRA already offers pool cover rebates. (see resources below)
A summary of the Plan updates can be found below. Current enforcement of these restrictions is focused on accounts suspected of irrigating more than once per week. As lake levels decrease and we get closer to summer, LMUD customers can expect an increase in enforcement of all water use restrictions as well as an increase in penalty fees (a change from $200 to $500 for first offenses and $500 to $1,000 for second offenses). We encourage LMUD customers to utilize their WaterSmart portal to stay aware of their household water use (see resources below for details), ensure our customer service team has your updated contact information on file for notifications, and routinely check that their automatic irrigation system is operating as efficiently as possible while considering plans for a more water-wise landscaping option.

LTISD Monthly School Board Meeting
2024-03-20 18:00 - 19:00 | LTISD Educational Development Center, 607 RR 620 N., Austin, TX, 78734, United States
Parents/Citizens- PLEASE STAND UP AGAINST THE FAKE BOOK BAN CAMPAIGN. COME SUPPORT INNOCENT CHILDREN, SB TRUSTEES, PARENTS AND CITIZENS TONIGHT!!
In December, the first 3 LTISD book challenges made it to the fourth and final level at the school board meeting. The parent had been denied relief at all levels within the district administration. The administration and the parent made a presentation to the Board. The Board granted the parents’ requested relief in a 5:2 vote with the two Democrat Trustees voting against the parent. Those same Democrat Trustees MUST be defeated in May.
At this week’s school board meeting on Wednesday March 20th, that same amazing and brave parent and the administration will make a presentation on 2 other books urging age-appropriate placement. Media will be there.
Please attend to support our 5 conservative Trustees and the protection of children as they prayerfully vote with the parent. We will be there, join us at 6 pm at 607 RR 620 N, Austin, Texas
Unfortunately the librarians are not willing to communicate with parents and citizens, except to say we are book banners. We must continue to ask them to discuss the content of the books that have been questioned as we believe they have no educational value and are harmful to children.
Protecting Children is our goal. Click on links below for details on the two books being challenged tonight.
The Haters is rated at a 4
Me and Earl and the dying girl is rated at a 3 and has already been removed from all 3 middle schools.

True Texas Project Meeting
2024-03-11 18:30 - 20:00 | Oak Hill Baptist Church, 6907 Convict Hill RD, AUSTIN, TX, 78749, United States
Please join True Texas Project as we welcome some of our favorite Texans, Tim Georgeff and Shelley Luther, to share with us about the journey that the Lord has brought them on over the past year. We will hear stories from the book that Tim has recently published, as well as some “behind the scenes” information that was not included. There will be prayer, songs, and Q&A with the audience. Come and hear about the miracles that have taken place in their lives!
“On April 4th, 2023, our lives changed more dramatically than we ever could have imagined, and that is saying a lot considering the path we have been on the last four years. My wife and I always thought our big moment in life, the contribution God had planned for us to make, was her standing up for liberty and consequently being incarcerated. The chaos that followed, the political challenges, and the movement that it started, were all simply part of a bigger plan God had for us. He was giving us a platform for what was going to become the most challenging endeavor we would ever face. Blessed Assurance is our chronicle of obedience, trial, and overcoming. It is the story behind the posts and updates that started on social media and exploded into miracle making prayers from thousands of people all over the world. It is the testimony God wants us to share with everyone, our obedience to His command; tell everyone what the Lord has done for you.”

A Salute to the Greats! Happy Presidents Day!
2024-02-19 08:00 - 17:00 | VENUE: AMERICA
Presidents’ Day, officially Washington’s Birthday at the federal governmental level, is a holiday in the United States celebrated on the third Monday of February. It is often celebrated to honor all those who served as presidents of the United States and, since 1879, has been the federal holiday honoring Founding Father George Washington, who led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War, presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and was the first U.S. president.[1]
The day is an official state holiday in most states, with names including Washington’s Birthday, Presidents’ Day, President’s Day, Presidents Day, and Washington’s and Lincoln’s Birthday.[2] The various states use 15 different names. Depending upon the specific law, the state holiday may officially celebrate Washington alone, Washington and Abraham Lincoln, or some other combination of U.S. presidents (such as Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who was born in April).[2]
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 (N.S.). Washington’s Birthday was celebrated on this date from 1879 until 1970. To give federal employees a three-day weekend, in 1968 the Uniform Monday Holiday Act moved it to the third Monday in February.[3] The day soon became known as Presidents(‘) Day[4] (the presence and placement of the apostrophe varies) and provides an occasion to remember all the U.S. presidents, to honor Abraham Lincoln‘s and Washington’s birthdays together, or any single president of choice.[2]
As many states and cities followed suit, some states that had been celebrating Lincoln’s birthday on February 12 combined the two into Presidents Day. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, preserved the Union, abolished slavery, bolstered the federal government, and modernized the U.S. economy.

Training for March 5th Primary- Travis County is hand counting mail-in ballots!

The Texas Election Code grants both political parties additional liberties on election day of the Primary. Historically, we have let Travis County dictate the terms of the election day contract. This year, a small group of Republican precinct chairs negotiated new terms. They include:
Hand count mail in ballots
Republican controlled early vote signature verification
Report of ballot style per registered voter
Report of Results by voting center with County Comparison report
DS200 Configuration reports with number of Voters.
These are “contract wins” and will give us more transparency into this year’s Primary. The hand counting will take many volunteers. Please consider volunteering yourself, your friends and your family members.

Lakeway River in the Hills Church at 1310 Ranch Road 620 S, Unit C10, Lakeway, Texas 78734.
Saturday February 3rd (2pm-4pm) or Saturday February 17th (10am-12pm)
