More than 3 feet in a week. 🌊 Recent rain, plus floodwaters passed through lakes LBJ and Marble Falls this weekend, has Lake Travis sitting at 95% full. Thank you to our team for working around the clock to manage the water, and to local meteorologists and media partners for helping share safety info with the public. #WeAreLCRA

This week's stop on GM and CEO Rudy D. Garza's year-one tour: Timmerman Power Plant near Maxwell. It's part of a simple goal - get out to every LCRA facility, meet the people who run them, and see the work firsthand. Thanks to the Timmerman team for the tour and for the work you do every day powering Texas. #WeAreLCRA

Water is a big part of life in Matagorda County - and 31 local high school seniors recently got a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s managed. During a Leadership Matagorda County visit to Matagorda Bay Nature Park, LCRA’s Stephen Crow shared how our irrigation operations help move water through the region, including where that water comes from and how it’s distributed to meet agricultural needs. The Leadership Matagorda County program gives seniors from across the county an opportunity to learn firsthand about the industries and issues that shape their community. We’re always happy to help the next generation learn more about the water systems at work in their own backyard.

The LCRA crew participating in the ERCOT Board Stakeholder Engagement sessions this am! Good conversations about the state of our market!

When the City of Fredericksburg needed an old, unused radio tower removed near the visitor center, our Transmission crews were ready to help. The crew safely dismantled the tower piece by piece earlier this week - with a little help from a crane and some pretty good views. 🏗️

Kolaches & continuous improvement go hand-in-hand at LCRA. 🤝 This week, EVP and COO of Transmission Kristian Koellner and the Transmission leadership team recognized dozens of employees who found smarter ways to boost safety, streamline operations and strengthen reliability - proof that our commitment to continuous improvement lives in the everyday work our teams do. We celebrated with gifts, fellowship and (of course) kolaches. Thank you to everyone who brings this mindset to work every day. #WeAreLCRA
