EAGLE LAKE – Hundreds of Lower Colorado River Authority employees picked up paint brushes, shovels, and more on April 12 to volunteer on dozens of community projects throughout Texas during LCRA’s annual day of service, Steps Forward Day.
In Eagle Lake, LCRA employees removed algae from a groundwater storage tank at the city’s Davitt Water Plant.
Other Steps Forward Day projects ranged from installing new landscaping and building a shade structure at San Saba River Nature Park to adding sand and mulch to the play areas at Play for All Abilities Park in Round Rock to painting and sealing the exterior of the city animal shelter in Shiner.
“Steps Forward Day is a day to work hard, have fun and give back to our customer communities,” LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson said. “This year, about 700 employees volunteered to pitch in on these projects to help support Texans and Texas communities.”
Wilson said LCRA has a strong legacy of service.
'Our volunteers tackle projects that communities might not have the time and resources to complete on their own, and we’re excited to see these projects to the finish line," Wilson said. "It's a way of saying ‘thank you’ to our customers and helping to make a real difference in the communities in which we work.”
